I like to break down barriers and I think that Hollywood is doing the same thing over and over. I want to do something new and say, "Let's evolve as artists!"

Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don't like it to be ugly and I don't like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other.

I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress.

I want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.

There are certain things that I always dreamed of, like fighting in the UFC. There's just certain things that I feel like haven't been accomplished there. There's such great women coming up in the sport; seems like a wonderful time to be in women's MMA.

You shouldn't be greedy. You should feel good about yourself and not be greedy of what other people have.

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.
