The way that I like to fight is I like to paint myself into a corner and so the only way is for me to win.

I'm scared of failure all the time. But not scared enough to stop trying.

I am vulnerable; that's why I fight.

At home, I watch fights and documentaries - that's it. If it's not about the birth and death of stars, 'Frozen Planet,' or someone getting punched in the face, I'm probably not watching it.

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

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.

I got a lot of body paint on me in a short period of time. I would definitely do it again because Joann Gair is so brilliant, but I would definitely need, like, a good long break for it.
