I was kind of a loner growing up.

I used to fight with hate. There's been a lot of aggression in my past growing up and stuff. That's because I was hurt myself.

A big misconception is that women shouldn't be in the UFC because we fight 'like girls,' but I think women have some of the most exciting fights.

I love to learn, and that's the really cool thing about martial arts - you're always learning new things.

I grew up in a Chinese family where the parents' No. 1 priority is the kids' education.

We are from the very middle class family. We have not come from the English medium school. We came from our regional languages school.

I am less selfish. But I am more insistent on being part of the creative experience. I find I am a better mother, lover and wife when I am writing. When my daughter was small I wasn't writing as much and I didn't miss it.

There was no such thing as child abuse. Parents owned their children. They could do whatever they wanted.
