It's not winning or losing. It's the friends and the people that you meet along the way.

Being 5' 10", I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I'd just hit the crap out of the ball.

I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason - I burned inside to play volleyball.

If you look at a magazine and something catches your eye, are you not going to open it up to see what's inside?

It would be easy to say that I want to play a role that was very much like myself, but more or less with acting, you get to be all these different things, and you aren't trying to be yourself, so it's escapism in a way.

People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn't going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it's all about? Jealousy.

I would play football, because I love it.
