Dancing is a lot lower-impact than ultimate fighting, but it takes a lot longer, and I burn the same amount of calories.

I'll take what I can get when I go high with a hook, but the side of the head makes a big target, especially if his hands are down.

I tried in my career to be really good to fans.

That's one of the reasons I retired. To stick around, the way I was fighting, I would have to start playing it safe. I went out on my shield. That's the way I liked it. I fought that way my whole career. I don't want to bore people my last three or four fights.

The older I get and the more iconic the piece, I believe that it's wise to watch a bit and become inspired and take moments that feel so connected to the story and also connected to me that I feel like I can make a part of my own performance.

We hope girls are inspired to start playing at a younger age and try to get to a World Cup themselves.

Never give up. You only get one life. Go for it!

And then writing, it was like I just found it, you know? Like you just found your favorite flavor of ice cream, all of a sudden there it is. 'This is what I should have been doing for the last thirty years. What was I thinking?' So I was, then I was in and then I had to just keep going with it.
