I'm an athlete; my dad had made sure I played all the same sports as boys growing up, so I was always super competitive.

Growing up, we were a poor yet tightknit family. My mother worked multiple jobs and always made sure that her kids never had to want for anything.

Oh there's so many, but the one that I would love to see, that I would love to go up against, is Beth Phoenix. I would love for her to return. It would be something for me, kind of like a a childhood thing, growing up seeing her being such a dominant woman. I would love for her to show up and be in the ring with her.

I've been bullied because of the way I've looked growing up.

My friends are my family.

I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.

I'm an only child. My mother was raising me alone. We couldn't afford child care; child care hours didn't work according to her schedule.

I was born during the war, on October 20, 1942, as the second of five children. My father, Rolf Volhard, was an architect.
