People have said to me, 'It must be nice to prove so many people wrong,' but I've never really cared about proving anything to anybody else.

My parents were really nice to me.

A lot of people thought you couldn't be a top-level athlete as a vegan, but people like Mac Danzig and Jake Shields are proving that's wrong. And it's better for me as a performer.

No one pays me to be nice.

I try not to be a jerk. I really do. I try to be nice and cordial.

Anything nice that's said about me is diametrically opposed to who I am.
