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.

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

I'd like to go to Africa, away from water, away from what's normal for us. When you put yourself in those places your life looks so far away. It makes a big impact.

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

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.

The key is that I control my life; my life doesn't control me.

I want to play until the end.
