Ms. Williams was very honest. She is quite proud of her daughters and she is very supportive to them. I can see why Venus and Serena is so real and creative. They have that family bond. They see life as no one else does. They are some very lovly ladies. Oracene I like your hair.

Just in....Serena announces retirement!!!......PSYCHE!!! YOU WISH!!! GOTCHA!!!Ha,ha...why you ain't laughing?!! Ha, ha, what's wrong?!!! Oh, come on, just enjoy the ride for about 5 more years!!! Yes! Then, it won't be such a big deal to any of us anymore. Nice interview, Ms. Price. Beautiful daughters from God. Plain, simple, classy, articulate, moody, attractive, bootylicious, athletic, gifted, intelligent, funny, and just like I want my daughter to be when she grows up.

I so love her. She never usually talks to any press, but she's so casual and just funny.

You are an awesome lady and a genius, Ms.Price!
It is no wonder she's feeling bored after so many years of travel (which she does even though she does not like to do it). She has put in long hours, sacraficed her valuable time, and hard work. So, in essence, she has trained her daughters so well that her work is done and Venus and Serena will continue their hard work and long hours as champions. The whole family is amazing.

I wonder if her attitude affects Venus and Serena. I don't see how it could be positive for them.

"jeanius", I hope I am misunderstanding your reaction to Ms. Price. She has put in her time and still supports them. They get tired also. This is their job, their passion and they have a job they love. Not many can say that.
She is ready to go do the things she loves, other then follow her daughters as an obligation, but when wants to. Love her, Great Mother.
