“It was always a dream for me to do my debut match at WrestleMania, and people would laugh at me. People would laugh at me all the time for my crazy ideas.”

“Even I doubt myself sometimes. I mean, there's days that I get down on myself, and I doubt myself.”

“Oh my gosh, I was so nervous at Wrestlemania when I debuted. I never had a live match ever. I'd had practice matches, but a practice match in front of no one is very different from a real match.”

“That's what we do in WWE: we tell stories.”

“We went through this month camp, learning how to bump and hit the ropes. I just fell in love with WWE and sports entertainment. It was the perfect world of the merge in sports, action, acting, and entertainment. I felt like I finally found my place.”

“I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.”

“I grew up in Russia. I grew up in Latvia, to be exact.”

“I want to be a voice to young children and women and people of all ages to go for their dreams, to be resilient and have courage. Don't let fear motivate you. The American Dream says that all things are possible, and I genuinely believe that.”

“To me, when - just like when you watch a movie or you watch a TV show, to me, you know, Nicole Kidman or Leonardo DiCaprio, you know that they are actors, but also, great actors find that extension of themselves. So, when I walk through that curtain, I find the extension of myself of being the Ravishing Russian in there.”

“I don't like telling people what my plans are, because I have big plans.”

“So much of our life is dictated by our mindsets. So much of it! Of how we think, we shall become.”

“When you're out there doing things, your adrenaline is rushing so much. But getting kicked in the face is never fun. There have been a lot of different painful things, but when you're kicked in the face or kneed in the face, it's not the most pleasant thing.”

“If people know anything about Russians, we do things really over the top. We wear high heels everywhere. We show up in the most extravagant outfits. I am just embodying how I was raised and what I grew up in. Some people might think we're extra; I just think we're ravishing.”

“I guess it's the Russian side of me that takes me a long time to get close to people.”

“I know I can fight. I know I have kicks that can destroy people. Just because I haven't gotten in the ring in my career, that doesn't mean I'm not capable of crushing people.”

“I am so, so, so grateful that I am going to be a part of the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble.”

“Growing up, I wanted to be in WWE because of watching characters like Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman. They just are such incredible storytellers, such incredible, compelling characters.”

“When I look at Stephanie McMahon's entire career, I'm always blown away at how she just moves your soul. Literally, my heart is moved by her. Either I hate her or love her - or love to hate her.”

“Life is not always going to be roses and rainbows. You are going to have uncomfortable moments. It's what we do with those moments that is going to count and determine our destiny.”

“I can promise you this: I will be the greatest woman to ever enter WWE, and I will leave the greatest legacy that WWE has ever seen.”
