I like to watch women's MMA more than men fighting because they always do their best and fight hard.

When I started, athletes fought for honor, respect, philosophy.

I wanted to train jiu-jitsu instead of capoeira because the mat was soft. It was better than training capoeira on the hard floor. I started reading jiu-jitsu magazines, reading about the world champions, and becoming one of them became my goal.

I've never had any fear in my entire career.

Football is something I would never give up on, whether I ended up playing professional or in a Sunday league team.

I'm a rather multifaceted person - or at least I like to fashion myself as such - so my dreams are multifaceted. For example, I had a dream of winning a Grammy, right? I've done that three times over.

Sometimes just getting out of the house and doing something you haven't done in a long time (or never done!) can open up the doors to musical inspiration.

Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.
