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.

You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.

I know I'm always rooting for the underdog in a fight, and I love to be constantly surprised.

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

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.

I have gotten some of the most beautiful experiences that a person can possibly ask for so I'm not at all complaining.
