I always feel better and more beautiful in things that I'm comfortable in so I was fine with putting a little makeup on and keeping my leggings on and going to a party.

I'd say probably the most epic experience was before the Victoria's Secret show - I think it was before the casting - and I saw Naomi Campbell at a party. I was saying that I was nervous about my walk and she said "Come to my hotel tomorrow and we're going to practice." So I went in New York and we practiced in the hallway of her hotel with all of the hotel staff watching. She just said "Don't even flinch. Keep going!" It was hilarious, but I think that was kind of a confidence booster.

My coaches are always my friends. I've always had a coach a year of my life and they're really important part of being a better human for me.

I still love doing that. There's nothing like being able to go back and play volleyball again with a team cause, I can have my volleyball in my New York apartment but we can't do so much there.

The most hurtful thing to me is when people try to put assumptions on me and my relationship because that is not OK. Love is something that's really serious and private that you can't try to claim or know.

I've learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I'm so focused on one thing. I think what's worked better for me personally is I have three goals every day: be nice, work hard and make friends. Those are my daily goals, and I feel like those are the things that create opportunity and creating connections that will then lead to other things that I may not have planned for otherwise.

Going and running, just to run on the treadmill, wasn't my thing.
