Look at my face. Does it look like I can take a good hit?
As an athlete you're taught to be selfish. When I'm training, it's usually all about me.
The way that I like to fight is I like to paint myself into a corner and so the only way is for me to win.
My first injury ever was a broken toe, and my mother made me run laps around the mat for the rest of the night. She said she wanted me to know that even if I was hurt, I was still fine.
For girls, it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight.
I knew that I liked what I was doing, that it was what I wanted to do for a living, and that the profession didn't really exist so much. So I had to create it.?
The Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I was lucky enough to go twice, but most people only get one chance. And in judo you can train your whole life and it'll come down to a split second: You can lose everything or win anything.
I had a certificate that said, 'Doctor of Mixology, Harvard University,' that I actually got from Harvard University. A friend of mine was a research assistant over there and it was one of those student or university perks and she brought me in on that. So I am a doctorate from Harvard and it only took me one afternoon.
I think that Floyd Mayweather is the best boxer that's ever lived; like actual technical boxer.
My one fear is failure and that's one fear I have to face all the time. Yes, it's uncomfortable to be scared but I'm finally comfortable being uncomfortable.
I'm going to beat Alexis Davis then take a nap
The thing that gets me up in the morning is that I’m really not ready to see someone that I know I can beat holding my belt.
Complimenting yourself is the funnest form of manifestation.
I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.
