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.

I didn't really watch action films growing up! I grew up on stuff like 'Anne of Green Gables' - that was more when I was in elementary school. It was all I ever watched.

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

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.

There's nothing that can teach you more than experience.

I have gotten some of the most beautiful experiences that a person can possibly ask for so I'm not at all complaining.

Well you know, I have the utmost respect for people like Angelina Jolie and Zoe Saldana in 'Colombiana.
