I was a judo athlete, while taking modeling as my side job, before I eventually quit my professional sports career over a knee injury.

I always put emphasis on being a scholar before an athlete. An injury can end a sports career on any play, but putting academics first is always a safe bet.

Being a professional athlete, we all want to win the title.

There is no correlation between a childhood success and a professional athlete.

I wouldn't say I'm going to quit modeling and become an actress, especially because I can't do that because I have contracts, but I definitely enjoyed it. I wouldn't call myself an actress, but I at the same time, if there is an opportunity... I believe in taking chances and living your life.

The doors fly open when you're a professional athlete.
