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.

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'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 am not a violent person. I actually don't like to hurt people.

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 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!"

I wake up every morning and I surprise myself. I wake up to a new me.
