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.

A lot of people enjoyed the film 'Haywire' and a lot of people have mixed feelings on it but regardless, a lot of people have said really wonderful things about it being my first experience, that the fighting they absolutely enjoyed. So I think I've gotten a lot more fans, actually.

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 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.

Everybody is their own critic.

You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.
