The kind of hope I'm talking about is the belief that something good will come. That everything you're going through and everything you've gone through will be worth the struggles and frustrations. The kind of hope I'm talking about is a deep belief that the world can be changed, that the impossible is possible.

That's why I love fighting, because I get to have a big battle every couple months to make up for the little battles I have to forfeit every day

The whole 'bad girl' thing allows me to mess up sometimes. And I have freedom to say more of what I want to.

When you're doing something like body paint or a nude shoot, you're making yourself very vulnerable, and you're really trusting people to really take care of you and make sure everything is very professional.

I train to be the best in the world on my worst day

You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.

Easy lives make boring people and things have definitely not been easy.
