You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.

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.

Whether it's coming from FDR or it's coming from Ronald Reagan, if the idea is right for the times then we're gonna apply it. And things that don't work we're gonna get rid of.

It's easy to tell who the folks are that don't believe in evolution. They're the ones who have refused to participate in it.

As far as working out, I know exactly what I'm doing.

Unless the law of marriage were first made human, it could never become divine.

If you can't love me the right way, then don't love me at all. Don't be mad at me because I prefer to be happy.

They taught me that all life forms are important to each other in our common quest for happiness and survival. That there is more to life than just yourself, your own family, or your own kind.

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang.
