“When I learn martial arts, my master will have me try a punch for a we...” — Milla Jovovich Quote

“When I learn martial arts, my master will have me try a punch for a week and he will keep saying, 'No, you don't have it. No, that's not right.' When he finally says, 'Yes, you did it,' it's a wonderful moment. You worked on it. You got it.”

“My regular life today is reading books, making dolls houses, sewing dolls with my daughter and barbequing.”

“There is all this controversy that women and girls are too skinny or too overweight. I say to just do martial arts and everything will be okay. You will tone up your body and find a confidence you can't find just sitting around watching TV and hanging out with friends.”

“I've been chastised for going into mixed martial arts and backing out. But the reason I backed out was the terms - they wanted me ready to fight in four weeks, but you've got to be out of your mind. So I decided to go back to my roots, back to wrestling.”

“There's no safety in anything, but in the arts, there is really this idea of no promises. I didn't follow the writing dream for safety.”

“I started very young... I learned my martial arts first in the street. There were always fights. That's the culture in Brazil.”
