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.

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

The thing that gets me up in the morning is that I’m really not ready to see someone that I know I can beat holding my belt.

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

I've coached doing judo, but I've never coached MMA. I'll have my own coach with me to help me along the way and I can't really fail with him by my side, but I'm a little nervous.

Even though I was painted, even though I had on seven layers of paint - to the point that I got a tan, it was as thick as a fabric - I think I felt the most naked because I couldn't cover myself at all. I didn't have to, so I had to be much more open and relaxed.

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.?
