I have heard every negative thing under the sun about my body.

I live by 'Everything in moderation.'

Never think your life isn't good enough. You only have one, so enjoy every minute.

Words and images deeply impact the way we view our bodies, and the consequences can be very damaging.

If you want to wear something and you feel confident, you are going to rock it. That's what I love about fashion: it's your choice and your chance to express yourself.

There is a way to disagree with someone, but it doesn't have to be threatening.

The most important relationship we have in our lives is the relationship we have with ourselves, and we're not taught about it.

I know, when I was younger, I would look in the mirror every single day and hate what I saw.

I spent so many years being repeatedly rejected and told I wasn't good enough. It took a huge toll on my self-esteem until I realized I am more than my body and that, actually, our beauty comes from diversity.

We don't need to be categorized - we are all individual and beautifully unique.

My confidence comes from the realisation that, actually, the best you can be is you, learning to accept who I was, what I wanted, and that I was more than my body.

If you are trying to achieve the 'perfect body' or aspiring to be like someone else, you are only going to feel like you failed.

My dad always has the best advice!

I did not label myself 'plus size.' The fashion industry did.

For me, health starts from the mind, and it really does start from the inside out.

I treat health and fitness as looking after myself.

My story is one of ups and downs. It's made up of tastes of success and a lot more rejection.

Like virtually all of the women I know, I spent my teenage years battling with my body and feeling I wasn't good enough. A lot of that negativity is because I was pursuing a career in modeling and was told countless times that my body was too big. My hips and thighs were too wide.

When you get to that point where you don't have to worry and you don't have to think about it... I'm pretty sure that's the best diet you can be on.

Aerie builds you up, and it makes you feel positive. Why don't more companies do that?

Because I was a swimmer, I felt like sports did help me to realize that my body was more than what it just looked like... and if didn't eat, then I couldn't swim fast.

I was a 'straight-size' model from 13 to 16, but I was eventually dropped by the agency because my hips were too big.

Social media has been both damaging and beneficial in terms of how we view our bodies.

Labels make us feel worse about ourselves, and I would love for all models, no matter what their size, to be treated equally and called the same thing.

There's no one like me. No one.

You're never as good as they say you are, you're never as bad as they say you are. That's a quote I live by.

God mode is something that I've always tried to unlock within myself.

All that matters is how you see yourself.

I've got Africa stamped on my chest, and I've outlined Nigeria because that's my bloodline.

I'm real petty. I remember everything like an elephant.

When I'm having fun, I'm the best in the world.

I tried so many times to fit in but I could never ever fit in. I was always like, an outcast.

I'm the runt of my people.

Look at rugby, the national sport, you have guys weighing 130kg, 140kg, who can run like sprinters full clip into each other causing brain damage constantly on that field.

They say to never underestimate anyone, but they don't tell you to overestimate people either, so I'm just going to do me.

I'm not proud of my chin but I can take a shot.

It's about legacy, it's about moments, it's about being an icon - I'll do what I do and the money will flow.

There are no limits, man.

Coming up in this country, I've seen it so many times. When you see somebody rising you want to tear them down because you feel inadequate and you want to call it humble.

In boxing, you've got CTE from head trauma constantly.

I'm not trying to be one of those guys that's bigger than everyone else in the weight class.

I don't just think about the belt, I think past the belt.

I've been a heavyweight in boxing, in kickboxing. I'll do it in again in MMA.

If you visibly compromise someone or hurt someone, or hurt their vision, you're not supposed to still just stand there and wait for them to come to you.

Uriah Hall, you ever play that game Tekken where you just button bash? I always think that's what he looks like. He's just button bashing and hoping something cool will come out of it.

A fighter walks in the room and people are like 'oooo' because everyone is trying to be a tough guy.

A lot of guys just can't handle the spotlight and the pressure, so they shy away from it, like 'oh, I don't want to be in it.' That's never me.

There doesn't need to be hatred after a fight, because it's all said and done. I'm cool with a lot of my opponents in the UFC. There's people I've fought who were my friends in kickboxing tournaments and after we were still cool.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a beautiful thing.

I don't focus on anyone but myself.
