I grew up in a martial arts gym surrounded by men and boys, and I pretty much call myself a tomboy.

I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and 2nd degree in karate, and I'm a licensed bodyguard.

I love not being in a comfortable state, anyway. That makes for much more interesting storylines and an interesting story.

I think every woman character, every female character, has her own arc.

I come from a martial arts background so kicking and punching and using your hands and your feet is more of the art that I was taught.

One can make a day of any size and regulate the rising and setting of his own sun and the brightness of its shining.

When you get saved, you get saved not because you deserve it, but because you simply let God save you and because you confess your own poor sinful state and your inability to save yourself.

I like thick or middle (spaghetti). Thin for me is always overcooked by the time I'm eating it.

Detroit turned out to be heaven, but it also turned out to be hell.

Redefine the possible.
