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.

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.

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!"

I know I don't look like the skinny slender model. I know I look a little different but people like to watch me for some reason. It feels good and I'm humbled by it.

The beauty of a bright new day!

Be different. Trust yourself. Be bold.

When you have something so important, something that you'll stay awake for, something you know that you were designed to do, well, it's worth getting a few dark circles, don't you think?

A daydream is an evasion.

Words are real. Even if you can't see them, or hold them. Once you send them out in the world, they have power. Never speak words you don't mean.

To know the world, not love her, is thy point; She gives but little, nor that little, long.

If you make happy those that are near, those that are far will come.

All art is a kind of confession.

The challenge of education is not to prepare a person for success, but to prepare him for failure.

As we get older, our fears, in some way, sharpen and become more personal, because we can no longer - let's say take a book like "It" or maybe "Christine," and say these are make-believe fears.
