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

I don't mind answering any questions, because I'm not just a fighter. I'm a lot more than that.

In acting, you get to explore such an artistic side with different characters to research and learn and explore different things inside yourself and I do that anyway, so I might as well be doing something that I already do, as in a second nature to me, on film.

Everybody is their own critic.

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

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.
