[I just try to stay around the same people] is what kept me out of trouble, because when I got into trouble, it was with people from the outside. The outside always led me to getting into trouble, and really just stayin' in the studio [and] workin' hard, and mainly just keepin' my mind straight.
I have to say that sports is what kept me out of trouble. No matter the circumstances, my mom kept us playing sports. She worked hard to provide for us and even harder to make sure we always stayed active. Whether it was football or basketball, we were playing one sport or another year-round.
I just try to stay around the same people, stick around the same group. That's what kept me out of trouble, because when I got into trouble, it was with people from the outside.
My parents always kept my brothers and I in sports to keep us out of trouble.
I fought as a kid. But football is what kept me out of trouble. You could always fight, whether you're in trouble or not
Because I knew how hard I worked, I knew the pain, I knew the sacrifice, I knew the tears, I knew everything. Despite everything, I stuck to it. I toughed it out, and I kept my head in the game, even when the odds were against me.
I knew I needed to find a way to stay out of trouble and to have good grades to be able to stand out.
About this sport, you gotta kind of stay active. If you're not active, you're easily forgotten. It's like out of sight, out of mind.
My fans got connected to Yash on a social networking site and they expressed their love for me to him. Although I am not active on FB, Yash sometimes keeps checking out FB to stay updated regarding 'Code Red.' He told me that many crazy girls and guys wish to meet me. They kept on requesting Yash to help them meet me.
Looking good kept me out of trouble. When I worked for Michael Alig, everybody was overdoing partying. It would take me so long to get ready, because I was never one of those girls that were naturally the cover of Vogue. I had to really work hard to look nice. I would take hours and hours to get ready. If you have high heels on, if you're dressed nice, you really can't be drunk or sloppy because it's dangerous. It's part of being a lady, so it really kept me out of trouble.
I want to keep active, so when they called me to fight Nate Diaz, I agreed because I wanted to stay active. I got a little surprised because he was out so long, but he's a tough opponent.

I was an angry kid, and boxing kept me out of trouble.
Nothing troubles me. I offer no resistance to trouble - therefore it does not stay with me. On your side there is so much trouble. On mine there is no trouble at all. Come to my side.
It's much easier to stay out of trouble now than to get out of trouble later.
I have many sources of inspiration. I'd have to point to Dr. Martin Luther King, first and foremost. But my parents were good, hardworking folks who kept us in the church and the public schools, and out of trouble, for the most part.
