I had the pleasure of learning how to wrestle long matches and use psychology.

I grew up learning from guys like Ron Simmons and Owen Hart. They were like mentors to me, so I was able to embrace what they taught me, and I think I did alright.

I'm blessed to be able to say that at every juncture in my career, I succeeded.

I had to decide whether I should try to play pro football after high school or try to pursue my powerlifting career.

I have never had other kids in the house... I had a huge collection of marbles, and they all had names, which I think concerned my parents. I used to go and sweep outside and talk to myself, and my mum's friends would be over and say, 'Do you realise she is talking to herself?'

You have chickens?' That's what nearly everyone asks next, after they find out about our family pets. They just need to make sure they heard me correctly. Perhaps it's because I don't come across to most as a rural-loving farm girl.

I think family movies have gotten so rich in this country.

Family is more than DNA, more than who we used to be, more than we can imagine we will become.
