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.

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

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

Work travel for me, which is - I hate to say it - more enjoyable now that I have kids.

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.

If you want to stay fit, surround yourself with a couple of chicks who are fired up, so that the one day you're not, you can feed off their energy.

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