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.

I don't have a life, I really don't. I'm as close to a nun as you can be without the little hat. I'm a golf nun.

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.

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

In some ways, I'm relieved that I didn't have a son.

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

I'm a natural. That's why I make the big bucks.
