Since I’ve started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.
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.
When I enjoy doing something, I don’t mind if it hurts.
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.
Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don’t want to be portrayed.
When you dream big, you eventually attract big things.
