The one thing disappointing I had coming out of college was not playing in the Rose Bowl.

I'm not here to propel myself into the limelight. I'm here to win a football game. If I am propelled into the limelight, I want it to be because of what I do on the football field, not because of some grand marketing strategy.

I always play every game in my mind before it begins. A lot of times in a game, a play will happen, and it will feel like deja vu, like I've seen the play happen before in my mind.

To say, 'I don't worry about perception,' you better worry about perception because it's a big part of making it through some very difficult times.

There's a responsibility to represent female MMA that comes with being the champion, just as there's a responsibility to represent and promote the show when you coach TUF.

We did not get any money from the early records. It was all taken by crooked managers. It is just a gangster's paradise.

Everyone tries to be so slick and modern and computerized. I've always done everything myself with little money, so I guess it's become 'my look,' but it's not really intentional.

The Czech tennis federation wasn't holding me back, but they could still pull the plug anytime they wanted.
