“I'm a big fan of Snoop Dogg - he was super-hot when I was in high school - but I also listen to a lot of Tim McGraw.”

“I don't really look at myself as a mentor.”

“I've had to put horses down on the farm before, and it's very, very sad.”

“It's always a big thing when you get to hold the championship because it shows that not only are you capable but that the company as a whole has faith in you.”

“I would like to take on Charlotte. That would be fun because I've been friends with Ric Flair. He does nothing but brag about her. He is proud of her, as he should be.”

“I'm very proud; I have such loyal fans, and they would follow me to the ends of the Earth, and that's an amazing, amazing thing.”

“I watched WWE as a child. I was a fan.”

“I spent two and a half years in Louisville, and I loved it.”

“Sasha Banks stood out. She had tons of personality. I thought she was really good in a sense. I liked her sass and personality.”

“I grew up listening to all music, not just country.”

“I have kind of reached the pinnacle of wrestling.”

“Probably the first artist who really captured me was Tim McGraw. His songs 'Don't Take the Girl' and 'Indian Outlaw' were fun, and he was different than a lot of artists.”

“I wanted to have something to fall back on. I got my degree in business administration.”

“Before Lita, women weren't doing moonsaults, hurricanrana, and other high-flying maneuvers. I think she really changed the game in the women's division.”

“I wanted to help my sister, Latoya, because she's an awesome cook. She's one of the best culinary people I've ever met. She makes awesome cakes, so I was thinking about starting a little coffee shop cafe where she could sell them. I want to open a little, small, mom-and-pop place, but she can also do catering, too.”

“Obviously, my wrestling boots end up going with me everywhere, because you just never know.”

“My mom is my best friend. She's been my biggest supporter through everything.”

“I've always believed that I performed better under pressure.”

“The key is that you never check the championship. You always carry it on. So when you're going through TSA, it's always a treat because, for some reason, they always like to pull it out and hold it way above their head and throw it over their shoulder and put it across their waist, see what it looks like on them.”

“My stepfather was a country music fan, and I grew up on a horse farm, so the older country, that's what he listened to.”
