I want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.

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

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

On 'American Gladiators,' I got to pummel a lot of people off a pyramid with a giant Q-tip. It was so much fun to wrestle people with no risk of getting knocked out or choked out.

I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress.

I like fighting because it's honest.
