I want to go out on my terms.

In my heart, I'm so far from done.

It's not a sprint to get in shape.

All my life, I've dreamed in gold.

I want to win a gold medal in London.

I didn't want to stop before my time was up.

My biggest goal for the future is motherhood.

Growing up, Michael Jordan was my Olympic hero.

My mom is a constant in my life in so many ways.

My favorite power food is Greek yogurt and honey.

I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.

I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.

I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do.

I want to be the best role model I can be for my family.

I've got to read the 'Hunger Games' before I see the movie.

I think the hard part is over. Now it's time for us to play.

I don't do evening business dinners and I don't do weekends.

I love that our sport is sexy. I think it is appropriately so.

Success means getting up 1 more time than you get knocked down.

I don't work this hard just to be the best player. I do it to win.

Sometimes the best results come when you are thrown in the deep end.

I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.

A lot of people had doubts. I tried to tell people I never had doubts.

I used to sleep, eat, breathe volleyball. Now I have that with my kids.

We want to seal the deal that we're the best team that's ever happened.

We were very aggressive, and when we're aggressive, it's hard to stop us.

NO PROCESSED FOODS! Natural is best. Straight from the garden. Avoid the tins.

Adversity, if you allow it to, will fortify you and make you the best you can be.

I don't want to be better than you or her or him - I want to be better than I am right now

A true competitor works the hardest, cares the most, and makes the best of what they have.

I know when things are going to get me a little nervous, because nervous to me feels good.

I want our kids to know that we have to feel our bodies. And nutrition is a huge part of that.

I wouldn't be the best offensive player if I didn't have a great setter. She serves me up nectar.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.

Misty May was looking for a partner, I was looking to stay at home, and the beach just came calling.

The more colorful the food, the better. I try to add color to my diet, which means vegetables and fruits.

I would like to instill in people just to work hard. As long as they keep at it, their dreams will happen.

My job is to be fit and I'm really blessed that I get to go and work out and live a really healthy lifestyle.

Some people say they want things, but when push comes to shove they don't do what is necessary to achieve it.

Surround yourself with people that are going to support you on your journey, and get rid of the ones that don't.

I have had to change the game to one that is a match of wits rather than brawn to give myself a fighting chance.

People think we have coasted the last four years. We fought, we had a lot of battles. We've always had to battle.

The female body is a masterpiece. Everyone likes to look at the female body, especially in dynamic, athletic sport.

If you maintain a healthy diet, or at least are smart about your food choices, you'll still see the pounds come off.

My dad would tell me to, 'Play for those who couldn't play.' So my motivation is for people who struggle in life daily.

You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.

Sometimes it's just the beer and bikinis that get people to come and watch, but it's the competition that's keeping them there.

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.

I firmly believe that when you have a foundation of respect, love of what you're doing, and a shared vision, so much is possible.

Over the years, I've made many sacrifices to win two Olympic gold medals and put together winning streaks that will never be broken.
