Do I ever get tired of being the first female everything? Not really, I just happened to be in a position where the job that I wanted was not really there for me. I had to create an opportunity instead of waiting for an opportunity.

Life is a fight from the minute you take your first breath to the moment you exhale your last.

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

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.

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'

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

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.
