When you're succeeding, and you're doing something right... As I've got haters, I know I'm doing something right.

Lifting is what's made me stronger and made me look better. Not only does it burn fat amazingly - and I think it's really honed my body - it's also given me the strength in the ring to lift girls up. I can literally lift anything on my shoulders.

Believing in yourself and having confidence gives you outer strength.

It shocks me, the rumors people start: that I have the title because of my boyfriend. If that was the case, I would have gotten the title when I came back years ago and still had the title. He has nothing to do with it.

The one thing I've said before, the one thing that I've been taught is that when you fall, you get right back up. And I'm up.

I didn't want to come back and be mediocre; I wanted to hang in with the girls, and I wanted to prove myself every week.

Because my man is handsome and successful, that makes me a gold digger? First of all, I pay my own bills, and I still pay my own bills. But if your man is gonna give you a gift, you're gonna accept it. I'm not gonna be like, 'No, can you please take back the Louis Vuitton purse?' Absolutely not.

For me, nothing is off limits.

I truly enjoyed my pay-per-view match against Brie. We have a bond that you just can't create. We're born with it, and we had this magic in the ring.

I was going through puberty and was much curvier than other girls, which made me insecure. Then I saw J. Lo on the cover of 'Latina' magazine, and she embraced those curves and was proud of who she was.

I was loving being the champion, and I wasn't listening to my body. I almost felt like I was untouchable in a way - that I could just keep going and everything would be OK.

I think my mom is kind of this way, too. We're just such strong women. My mom's been through so much, so I think that's where I got it from.
