When I enjoy doing something, I don’t mind if it hurts.
It’s a very big deal to me to remain the same person because I know all of this is going to be gone one day and I’m just going to have myself.
I am always training because I love it.
I don’t get paid what people think I get paid for fighting.
I find that whoever you are as a person is how you’re gonna fight, and every basic instinct kind of comes out at that moment.
I like fighting because it’s honest.
I cannot say where I will be in 5 yearsscratch that, tomorrowBut I know that wherever you find me, I will remain true to myself with a genuine smile on my face and happiness in my heart.
You shouldn’t be greedy. You should feel good about yourself and not be greedy of what other people have.
I know I don’t look like the skinny slender model. I know I look a little different but people like to watch me for some reason. It feels good and I’m humbled by it.
I definitely don’t want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress.
It’s something that I’ve always loved to do and it’s been such a genuine expression for me.
When you fight someone, you share the experience with that one person, and you’re never going to have that experience with someone else-even in another fight.
I’m attracted to any type of endeavor that gives me the chance to express what’s going on inside me.
I was destined to express myself.
I think there’s a part in each one of us that wants the impossible to happen, and that’s what surprises are.
I’ve had cameras on me since I started the art of fighting and I think that I’m used to having cameras on me in adrenaline-type situations.
I want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.
Since I’ve started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.
Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don’t want to be portrayed.
When you dream big, you eventually attract big things.
