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

I think there's a part in each one of us that wants the impossible to happen, and that's what surprises are.

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.

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

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.

I don't get paid what people think I get paid for fighting.

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.
