I take the choice out of exercise. It's not an option.

I won't say my nutrition is perfect. If I'm at a restaurant and there's fresh pasta on the menu, I'm going to order it. At home, though, I avoid grains and do a lot of the cooking to control what our family eats.

We've figured out our roles: I wanted someone to take care of the male roles - the big stuff - and Laird [Hamilton] does that very well. I'm here to be the mom and make it better for him, and that's my choice.

My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.

I always have a million things going on at once, but I try to put my energy into the most immediate need.

No one single person is going to make each other happy, and it's foolish to expect the other person to do that.

Taking care of yourself is so important.
