I think any time people behave in a way that's truly them, then they'll never fail. You get in trouble when you try to copy others.

I live a very normal regimented life that focuses on my training and my private life so I squeeze the insane stuff in around that.

I'm not just a model who plays volleyball, or a volleyball player who supports herself modeling. I'm a female athlete personality.

In Hawaii, if you're invited to dinner, it's assumed that the children are invited as well. On the islands, no one treats children like they're not part of the conversation. People talk to children as people and include them in adventures and conversations.

Some women just fight to fight. I fight to win.

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 three best friends get me through everything: I need cute jeans, my kids are driving me crazy, I'm throwing a party, whatever. They keep me dialed in.
