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.

I'm the most dangerous unarmed women in the world, I've prepared my entire life to be that way.

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 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.

Whenever people call me the first female this or that, it doesn't make it more special because no one in front of me wanted the same job. I've always wanted weird stuff and enjoyed things differently than other girls.

You have to have fear in order to have courage.

I really think that 'Sports Illustrated' is a big step in the "healthy is the new skinny" movement.
