“If anything I love when I'm the underdog. It gives me an opportunity to fight back stronger and show people, 'Ok, if you want to be on the side of the other person, then I'm going to make them pay for that mistake. Their body is going to pay the cost for you choosing them.' So if anything, that always lights a fire for me.”
