It's clear that women athletics are pretty far behind in every way. In terms of facilities, how much we make, everything.

I have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.

When I did 'Dancing With the Stars,' everyone in Hollywood was saying I had too much muscle.

My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love. He just, he had a rough life. You know, he grew up in a boys home in the Bronx. He didn't really know his own family. So I couldn't hold it against him that he didn't know how to parent. He didn't know how to be the perfect husband. But he loved as much as he could.

[My mother] was the strength of our family, and I didn't realize that until I got a little bit older.
