I think I came up in fighting in a really technical way. If you've ever seen my fights, you know I love distance, I love technique.

I feel like I can always do better with action and I always want to push the envelope there as long as I can because I'm a physical person and I love expressing myself physically, but I'm also, on the very flipside, an extremely emotional person. I like watching the relationships and the chemistry and the relatability.

Everybody is their own critic.

I was always bigger than the other girls. My sisters are very, very beautiful and very skinny, and I've always had a more muscular body. So I grew up with a different mentality.

My mom used to tell me: It's not what you weigh; it's what you look like.

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

I like fighting because it's honest.
