“I'm going to be world champion and have a belt, and people will correc...” — Joseph Benavidez Quote

I'm going to be world champion and have a belt, and people will correctly be able to say I was the best instead of I was very good.

Not having to compensate for always being at a size disadvantage allows me to unleash all of my skills.

Persevering is a fight. That's what a fight is. You face something, you persevere through it, you meet it head on.

Life is crazy. It goes in directions that you could never guess.

I love crying. I pick movies to go see with the intention of crying.

Fashion has always been a source of stress for me because I don't know how to dress myself. I'm short-torsoed with big boobs, and I don't really understand what a belt does. But you get on these shows, and people fit the clothing to you, and suddenly you learn, 'Oh, I should be wearing petite jackets.'

I'm here to be the best - I'm here to get the belt.

I had heard a live show, where my voice didn't sound the way I wanted to hear it and I got paranoid. I'm not an amazing singer, I just belt it out in this crappy old way, but for a while I had it in my head that I couldn't sing.

I took three years of karate because of Bruce Lee, you know. I was a green belt.
