I hate to lose but having the belt doesn't define who I am. It's how I live my life and what I put into things is what defines me.

I was raised in a bit of a hippie environment. I was lying around naked until I was two, having a good time. I think the California mentality is laid back and I definitely embody that.

The fight world is definitely a masculine thing, but I think it's pretty masculine if someone can avoid a fight also.

I sometimes get caught up in the big goals...That aren't really the ultimate goal, which is to be happy for what you have.

When I started wrestling in the eighth grade, I just fell in love with it, and started shifting my focus more to that. I considered playing in college, but it made more sense for me to wrestle, because I weigh about a buck fifty.

I think one of my biggest strengths overall is staying in the moment.
