There have been times in my adolescence where I gave up. I was like, 'I'm just never going to be pretty. I'm never going to be like one of those people on the front of magazines.' It always seemed really strange to me that the projection of how people are in advertisements looked nothing like the people who were actually buying them. You know what I mean? I never understood that mismatch, and now I really start to see that the people you see in the media are a lot more like people actually are.

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

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.

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.

My father would say, 'Ronnie, you're going to be someone special. Whatever it is that you want to do, you're going to be the best in the world at it.'

After I did the swimsuit issuе, I knew that I wanted to do it again.
