Volleyball anchored me at a time in my life when I needed it. It gave me a reason for being this big, big girl.

My kids that's their backyard. I think when they're adults, their memories will be mostly of spending time at beach, the exploration, the freedom that you have. You take care of your house that you live in and we make our bed and we clean our cars and we do all that stuff, but yet we neglect sort of the place that really provides us with the greatest form of sustainability, which is the ocean.

I think sometimes when I go to make a move on something, people try to disqualify any talent that I have or any hard work that I've done.

Have a short memory and a lot of forgiveness. Especially us girls who don't forget a thing. Move on.

People are already p*ssed off at me because I'm athletic and beautiful; to be smart in addition to that... it's like, too much.

Funny, how moms can tell you what to do no matter how old or big you are.
