My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.

I love Africa, especially Botswana. I could see myself retiring to a little tree house there one day.

Everyone always remembers my dancing.

Don't get me wrong: 'America's Next Top Model' is fantastic. They've done 20 seasons, so they've obviously done something right. But I think what ensures that the winner of 'The Face' will become a working model is the prize - a year-long contract with a cosmetics company is huge.

I find it funny to look at people who are people-watching, and, don't get me wrong, I like to people-watch, too. But it's an interesting thing when people on the street just stop and ask you, 'Are you Coco? Can I take a photo of you?'

It's especially important to make sure all clients are happy. You don't want to get stuck into a corner and for people to think you now only have one look.

I would have loved to meet David Bowie.

My mom's half-Irish, and my dad's half-Irish. We don't know much about my mom's side, but my dad's mom came from Belfast and married my grandfather, who was from Wales.

I was always excited by the idea of having my own company, but models are rarely serious when they venture off into something else, be it acting, singing, or starting their own business.

When you wear something different, you have to be confident that not everyone may get it at first.

When I first started modeling, I had the chance to walk the runway with Naomi passing by me, but I didn't know anything about supermodels. But when I saw her backstage, she complimented me on my walk, and I thought she was so nice - everyone was freaking out that I didn't know who she was.

Whatever you do, never do the duck face - that's the worst look for any girl out there. Some girls think that pushing out their lips looks fabulous, but it doesn't.

So many girls second-think their pose or what they're doing. And, in turn, the photos will come out really unnatural. I say to really give the camera a performance - that, and make sure you're comfortable with how you look, and give it a good smile and a filter.

Moms or soon-to-be-moms put a lot of pressure on themselves.

A lot of people might think the job of a model isn't necessary anymore, but just like an actor, singer - how they make you feel a certain way - how watching a dancer gives you emotion, models can do the exact same thing to many different people.

You can definitely notice a girl who has confidence versus one who's thinking, 'How are they judging me?'

As a model, we come in the room, and we are casted just on our looks. I think I'm funny; I think I'm clever. But in the end, they're picking me for my cheekbones or if I'm tall enough.

One of my favorite poses was when working with Steven Meisel. It was one of my first photo shoots with him, and we were trying to get the cover of Italian 'Vogue.' Then, I literally took my Balenciaga hat, pulled it down, and gave a rolling-eye, 'ugh' face, crossed legs on the floor. And lo and behold, that was the cover of Italian 'Vogue.'

It's hard sometimes because people don't take a model seriously in any sense. Unless she's taking a photo, that's as good as she is.

I hate when people say models don't have personalities; what does that even mean? Everyone has a personality.

I don't think it's fair for people to put fellow beings down just because they're only known for their looks.

Don't have just anyone run your social media. I think it's insane when brands or celebrities relegate their social media to an intern or someone who does not know them well.

Be current. Know and comment on current trends and news. Don't be the last one entering a conversation.

Personally, even though I have a great PR team, no one except my husband and I touch any of my 10 social media accounts. It's a lot of work, but I know that my brand, my image, and my voice are authentic to me.

Braveness, for me, is running into my basement with no socks on. There are huge spiders down there!

Just trying to keep going. Just try to stay in the present the best I can. Not get too big-headed or too down on myself.

I didn't really set any goals, just trying to go and play the game.

You're going to have your struggles every now and then, but you've just got to always keep it in perspective and try to have a good time.

Anything can happen. That's why sports are so great, the unexpected.

We know how hard it is to make the World Series; to do it two years in a row is really special. I know how lucky I am to be a part of it two years in a row.

It's just a grind every single day.

I'm up here to help the team win every at-bat, offense, defense, baserunning.

My favorite postgame treat as a kid was the sliced oranges. We had those when I played soccer, too, at halftime.

When you're playing first base, you help the infielders a lot. They appreciate you when you pick their ball. It's fun to help that.

Baseball is just a game you go out every single day and try to win, go in the cage every day and stick to your routine and try not to be results-based, even though that's what the game is based on.

I've played the outfield my whole life. It's like riding a bike.

I see myself as a line-drive hitter first.

I've seen my dad's three rings. I'd love to have one for myself.

I'm still learning about my swing more. I continue to learn, with the help of my hitting instructors.

You never want to see a guy go on the DL.

If I can't help the team offensively, I can help defensively.

I always felt defense was a big part of my game.

I thought the Little League fields were big. You look back now, and its obviously the smallest field you can play on.

I'm going to keep playing the way I do. I don't think anybody can tell me how to play; I always play hard.

I don't really do it on the field, but off the field, I use it to my advantage. I'll talk a lot of smack.

For me, I know the game is a humbling game, so I don't get too high or too low.

There's definitely more pressure to get the first hit when you are 0-for-8 to start the year.

I don't really miss pitching in games, and I don't think my arm could hold up. I would still love to try the radar gun, just not pitch on a consistent basis. I'd love to go and try to fire up the gun, though.

It's a game to be enjoyed. For us, it's also a business - it's a job. But you play better when you're having fun.

I love going to San Diego.
