Gina Carano

I definitely don't want to be one of those athletes who turns into a cheesy actress. ”

On 'American Gladiators,' I got to pummel a lot of people off a pyramid with a giant Q-tip. It was so much fun to wrestle people with no risk of getting knocked out or choked out. ”

I am always training because I love it. ”

I think I came up in fighting in a really technical way. If you've ever seen my fights, you know I love distance, I love technique. ”

I know I'm always rooting for the underdog in a fight, and I love to be constantly surprised. ”

I have gotten some of the most beautiful experiences that a person can possibly ask for so I'm not at all complaining. ”

A lot of people enjoyed the film 'Haywire' and a lot of people have mixed feelings on it but regardless, a lot of people have said really wonderful things about it being my first experience, that the fighting they absolutely enjoyed. So I think I've gotten a lot more fans, actually. ”

Fighting is my career, it's what I love to do, but I am taking offers and trying to expand because the more I expand myself, the more valuable I become to promoters. ”

Well you know, I have the utmost respect for people like Angelina Jolie and Zoe Saldana in 'Colombiana. ' ”

My first fight. I fought a girl that was a little bit heavier, a little bit more experienced and I was petrified because I didn't know what I was getting myself into. And I did really well against her and nobody believed it was my first fight. ”
