SBN: Do you relate to Lucky's plight in that song about being a star, but crying on the inside?
Serena Williams: Um, I just love that song. I think it's funny, I always tweet lyrics a lot, and some people are always like, "Are you okay? What's going on?" I'm like, "You clearly don't know Britney Spears."So I don't know. I just was singing that song in my head and I kind of just Tweeted it.
SBN: Are there other Britney songs that you relate to too? Do you ever feel like you're "stronger than yesterday," for example?
Serena Williams: I do! Definitely. I love that song, Stronger, I was just talking about it. And I often feel like I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. I don't know why, because clearly I'm a woman, but I still feel like I'm not yet.
SBN: Is there anyone who drives you crazy?
Serena Williams: (Laughs) What do you mean? A lot of people drive me crazy.
