I feel like when I fight it's an art, and Art isn't supposed to be 'nice', it isn't supposed to be liked. It's supposed to make you feel something.

It's your purpose to leave the world better than how you found it.

I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.

There have always been people who have written me off. They're not going away. I use that to motivate me. I'm driven to show them just how wrong they are.

I knew that I liked what I was doing, that it was what I wanted to do for a living, and that the profession didn't really exist so much. So I had to create it.?

I try not to get caught up on how cool I am. That way nothing ever gets done. I'm always thinking about what I haven't done.

I grew up with a lot of body image issues - not just about my weight, but I would always see these perfect orb, domed boobs on television, and think, "Mine don't look like that." I thought there was something wrong with me.
