I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress.

I wake up every morning and I surprise myself. I wake up to a new me.

I'm really surprised how many people knew me as Gina Carano. MMA has a beautiful fan base.

When you do things for the right reasons, eventually no matter how long it takes, people will take notice of it and can't help but respect it.

There's nothing that can teach you more than experience.

Fighting's given me confidence but it's also broken me down and kept me humble.

I didn't really watch action films growing up! I grew up on stuff like 'Anne of Green Gables' - that was more when I was in elementary school. It was all I ever watched.

I know I'm always rooting for the underdog in a fight, and I love to be constantly surprised.

Fighting is my career, it's what I love to do, but I am taking offers and trying to expand because the more I expand myself, the more valuable I become to promoters.

Once you get that addiction of realizing what you can do, you want to take that to the next level.

I like to break down barriers and I think that Hollywood is doing the same thing over and over. I want to do something new and say, "Let's evolve as artists!"

Nature is one of the most underutilized treasures in life. It has the power to unburden hearts and reconnect to that inner place of peace.

The Creator seeks to save the lost souls.

It is always necessary to acknowledge creative injuries and grieve them. Otherwise, they become creative scar tissue and block your growth.

I think that women are not treated fairly in the media.

Everything people say I couldn't do I've done.

If you can focus the energy into something valuable, put that into work ethic.

I remember when I was a little boy my father didn't love me; he couldn't. He loved my older brother but he couldn't love me somehow, at least not in a way I could understand it.

When you love someone, you should see beyond their image.

Ideas have consequences, and totally erroneous ideas are likely to have destructive consequences.

Sometimes I sit and look at life from a different angle.
