From SI interview:

What was your reaction to getting into the Swimsuit Issue? I was a little bit shocked because I'd been in it last year. I thought it was sort of a guest appearance, and if you're regularly in it, it's not really a guest appearance. I'm surprised and very flattered, again. I love working with everyone and Diane Smith is so lovely and everyone is so nice. I was looking forward to doing it again.

You're a professional athlete. Do you think modeling is hard? If you told me I'd model swimsuits in any way shape or form 10 years ago I'd have said, 'Are you insane? I doubt that'll happen.' But I have a lot of fun with it. I enjoy the feminine aspect of the things I get to do and it allows me to get that side out there and have fun.
