The guys I date always want to test my strength and wrestle around. By the end, they're drenched in sweat.

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.

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.

Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.

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.

It [preparing for a role] is just like studying for a test and making the test easy; it makes it a lot of fun, especially when people enjoy it.

The ultimate first date? Something that is completely out of the ordinary - go crazy, because first dates are always a little awkward, so do something a little extreme.
