I'm proud of the Diva division.

I was a huge Jackie Chan fan growing up.

I've always fantasized about facing Lita.

I know I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods.

I never planned on going into MMA or anything like that.

'Stars Earn Stripes' was one of the best experiences of my life.

Vince has always been so hands-on, and that's why WWE does so well.

Turning heel was so much fun for me. I was so over being a babyface.

I'm a really evil person on TV! It's way more fun to be the bad guy.

From a very young age I was someone who stood up for others and myself.

I always try to put my best foot forward both inside and outside the ring.

It's really important to take your own personal safety into your own hands.

When I went to college, I got an engineering degree and a full scholarship.

I'm just sending a message to women that you can be anything you want to be.

I honestly felt like there was a ceiling for me that I was not able to break.

All the Divas work hard, they're all threats. They're just not as good as I am.

The Great Khali is incredible. He is an international superstar and a movie star too.

I'm excited about developing as a Diva and finding where my place is in this company.

My background in gymnastics, martial arts, and dancing has translated very well in the ring.

I definitely miss parts of wrestling like having matches, especially when I watch the product.

I wish new moms wouldn't be burdened with the pressure to get back into pre-baby shape so quickly.

I think I just need to be myself. I think that's what this 'Diva Search' competition is all about.

When I was young, I loved gymnastics, but I discovered when I was 15 that I wanted a teenage life.

Being offered the role in the Jackie Chan film was amazing. I got to do a fight scene with Jackie Chan.

When it comes to the live events, you get to see great Diva matches you don't see on 'Monday Night Raw.'

The whole time I was in WWE, I was like, 'We need a reality show,' because the stuff that goes down is just crazy.

If you go about life the right way and you're good to other people that will show and will payoff in the long run.

One thing I wanted when I left was to make this Divas Championship mean something a little bit more than what it did.

My WWE Divas championship belt is pink and sparkly, but it doesn't mean I'm a princess. It means girls can kick butt!

When I get home at night, then it's time for the real cleansing deal. I go to town either with the Clarisonic or ProActiv.

You can be feminine and wear heels, dresses, and makeup, and still be a powerful woman - physically, mentally, emotionally.

I think the Diva Search was a great way to find women who might have been intimidated to get into the WWE world on their own.

WWE wants women who are confident and can handle everything that being a WWE Diva comes with like lots of travel and being tough.

As someone whose profession relies heavily on physical activity, I definitely felt extra pressure to get back to my pre-baby shape.

If you see a woman who is struggling with bags or looks struggling in general, help her. Don't leave her vulnerable to someone else.

I always keep a good manicure because these are acrylics. They're the safest because your real nails are actually sharper than acrylics.

It's a great feeling to know that, through my hard work, I am adding to a long list of accomplishments for Latinas in the United States.

I embrace my Latina background because I know that by doing so we will continue to break down stereotypes that may exist of Latina women.

I think being a WWE Diva is a tough job; there's lots we do that's not seen on television, constantly working and trying to better ourselves.

The moonsault - I climb to the top rope and back flip onto my opponent. It's very effective but can be risky if my opponent moves out of the way.

Not everyone likes seeing a strong, buff guy, but everyone likes women. We compete just as hard as men do, and we can do the acting just as well.

WWE is a huge supporter of our troops. Part of my love and admiration for our men and women in the military has come from the tours we have done.

Timing is a big part of stunt work and fighting scenes. It's something you learn in WWE, especially when they are really character-driven fights.

There is a big difference between performing in WWE before thousands of people in an arena and acting in a scene with a camera close-up on your face.

My goal was to always get my degree. Once I did that, I thought I could pursue any other passion because I had something to fall back on if I needed it.

I always try different things to stay in shape whether it is dancing or Jiu-Jitsu or training weights in the gym. I try to do a little bit of everything.

I can't tell you the number of times I have been underestimated, objectified or deprived of fair credit for my accomplishments based on my gender or ethnicity.

I look up to Divas like Trish Stratus and Lita. They are very beautiful women and they are bad. They are strong and great competitors who can handle themselves.

I have been in a 'man's' world as long as I can remember. I was an engineering major in college, I am a sports entertainer in the WWE, and I teach self-defense.

I would consider myself a casual fan growing up because obviously wrestling was such a huge part of pop culture, and still is. I was a fan as much as it was a part of pop culture.
