I'd love to be an action hero.

Women tend to overthink things.

I could do a standing back flip at 13.

I started in NXT when we were still FCW in Tampa.

I idolize my dad because he was such a hard worker.

I don't need approval from people who don't know me.

I want to be a Roman Reigns; I want to be a John Cena.

I've played sports, and I've been a tomboy my whole life.

Me and my little brother never grew up wanting to be famous.

My dream match would be 'Queen vs. Queen' Stephanie McMahon.

My dad was able to wrestle so many great Japanese wrestlers.

That's my message: I'm not alone, and neither is anyone else.

My comfort zone and where I feel most natural is being a heel.

In order to have your best good guy, you have to be that bad guy.

I almost think there's a mystique to not knowing everything about me.

I spent my whole upbringing in sporting camps. I didn't do cotillion.

I didn't start my career or, really, my life before I came to Florida.

If you find something that you're passionate about, your world can change.

I walked out very nervous, my first WrestleMania, and I had my dad beside me.

I'm so proud of my body. I'm so proud to be an athlete. I wouldn't change anything.

I want to be a larger-than-life superstar who is known worldwide, outside of the WWE.

I want to know that I am putting 30,000 individuals in seats in arenas. That's my goal.

When I first started in the WWE, I had a really hard time because I didn't look the part.

I never pictured myself as an entertainer or a superstar or a model or anything like that.

I played volleyball in college. I was the girl next door, never wanted to be in the limelight.

For so long, I was ashamed of my past, and I think that crippled me a lot in having confidence.

I am all athlete, and that's important, that my looks have nothing to do with what I do in the WWE.

I didn't even think about good guy, bad guy when I started. I was that unfamiliar with the business.

We don't have an off-season. Every other sport has an off-season. It just goes to show how tough we are.

I'm built for wrestling. I have a high pain tolerance. My nose has been broken a couple times. Black eyes.

I am not necessarily a private person, but I am Charlotte Flair on camera, and that is playing a character.

It's so hard to tell people I'm in a video game... just because I grew up with my dad being in a video game.

If you had asked me in my early 20s or in high school if I was going to wrestle, I would have laughed at you.

'Raw' wants to be the better brand; 'SmackDown' wants to be the better brand. A bunch of alphas on both brands.

Being undefined somewhat makes me nervous, but what I do know is I'm 100 percent confident in who Charlotte is.

I think Asuka is a superstar. She is incredibly talented, and she made a name for herself even before coming to NXT.

I guess because I never pictured myself wrestling, I find myself wanting to push every limit possible in this industry.

No one understands what it's like to walk in the shadow of a famous father, let alone Ric Flair, in the wrestling industry.

I think with the Mae Young Classic, bringing in 30 women from all over the world shows what an impact women have in the company.

Having new opponents re-energises us as talent, as we're not having to make new out of something that's been the same every week.

If someone says something vulgar to you and you retweet it, now you're giving them a voice, and you never want to give hate a voice.

Everyone always says, 'You must have always wanted to be just like your dad.' But my dad's career had nothing to do with my journey.

My job is healing to me. Charlotte is the woman you want to become. A strong, groundbreaking, independent female in a male-dominated world.

I want to be the first female to main-event WrestleMania, and I just want to continue to get better and better and continue my dad's legacy.

We continue to hire women who seem to already be polished and who have already made it outside of WWE and whose whole goal was to get to WWE.

Most of Charlotte's character is really who she is. A lot of who Ashley is is Charlotte and the same with my dad. It's not like I'm the Joker.

I won the NXT championship as a heel; then the fans grew to respect - not love, respect - me. I was popular because I was seen as the next to get called up.

I didn't want to hurt my parents' feelings about how hard certain things were in my 20s, how hard it was when my dad left my senior year before I went to college.

I didn't think of my size as an advantage or as something that I could use to be dominant. I didn't carry myself in the ring with the confidence that I should have.

The reason I don't do the Flair Flop anymore is because women's wrestling is being taken so seriously. I'll only perform something comedic like that at a house show.
