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

Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don't like it to be ugly and I don't like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other.

I like fighting because it's honest.

Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don't want to be portrayed.

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.

Fighting is very physical and extreme and you're very vulnerable. It's a very mental type of thing.

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.
