From Harper’s Bazaar:

Williams’s body confidence came later — and seven Grand Slam singles titles by her early 20s didn’t hurt. “I was 23 when I realized that I wasn’t Venus. She’s totally different,” she explains. “I’m super-curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She’s tall and she’s like a model and she fits everything. I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn’t.” She pauses. “But it’s fine. Now I’m obviously good, but it’s a weird thing.”

Williams has really grown into her beauty. “Since I don’t look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good,” she says. She’s loving her new bob too. “I feel so much sexier with short hair. I wanted to reach inside me and feel better. I don’t want to hide behind a facade of hair.” Her favorite part of her body? “My smile. Does that count? I think a smile can make your whole body. Models, they look fabulous, but they don’t smile and they look so mad. But I like my smile, how it’s bright and it’s nice. Good thing my braces worked out.”

As did her career. After eight years as on-and-off number one, Williams is more serious about tennis than ever. While she’ll have a cocktail (she likes, yes, peach ones), she’s amping up for a victorious summer. With no foot faults. “Ugh,” she moans of the incident last year in which she blew up at a U.S. Open lineswoman who called a foot fault, causing her to lose the semifinal on a penalty. “Not much makes me angry. I’m always smiling,” she says. “But foot faults piss me off because I never foot fault. I’ve never foot faulted before and never have after. Never.”
