Zitat des Tages von Gina Carano:
When I enjoy doing something, I don't mind if it hurts.
I don't get paid what people think I get paid for fighting.
Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.
Everybody is their own critic.
I want people to see me for who I am and not for how someone else is trying to promote me.
You want to get better even after people smash you down. You want to be better than you were before.
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.
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.
I like fighting because it's honest.
I was always bigger than the other girls. My sisters are very, very beautiful and very skinny, and I've always had a more muscular body. So I grew up with a different mentality.
The guys I date always want to test my strength and wrestle around. By the end, they're drenched in sweat.
I am always training because I love it.
My knowledge of video games ends with Nintendo 'Mario Bros.'
The ultimate first date? Something that is completely out of the ordinary - go crazy, because first dates are always a little awkward, so do something a little extreme.
It's a constant battle for everybody, but you need to be happy with yourself.
I find that whoever you are as a person is how you're gonna fight, and every basic instinct kind of comes out at that moment.
Of course, fighting is not going to be as graceful as movie fighting. I don't like it to be ugly and I don't like it to be one big brawl or people clobbering each other.
There are certain things that I always dreamed of, like fighting in the UFC. There's just certain things that I feel like haven't been accomplished there. There's such great women coming up in the sport; seems like a wonderful time to be in women's MMA.
Fighting is very physical and extreme and you're very vulnerable. It's a very mental type of thing.
