Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.

I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.

People have this notion of me being this sweet, nice girl, but I'm kind of a pervert.

I don't feel like I have to be the nice girl.

I'm told that I look like a nice girl. But, yes, I do a full contact sport, and when people ask what I do, they are a bit surprised when I say, 'A martial art, a full contact sport.'

Nice girls aren't always what they seem.
