What they’re saying

“I'm here for a good time, and so I'm irked, or I'm p—ed off, and I tend to get p—ed off very easily. I think I tend to show that in-ring. I have a quick temper and if I'm on top, I kinda get, I don't want to say cocky, but I get real comfortable.”

— Johnnie Robbie

“Little girls see themselves in me, or they see their bigger sister in me. So, I think it's whether you not recognizing where I come from or it's the little kids seeing it, or it's the people who grew up like me seeing it, that just makes a difference. I'm just happy to be that person you're reminded of somewhere, because even if you're not familiar with the way I was raised opposed to a little girl out here in LA, you're still now being introduced to it.”
