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.

Kids have to understand that they have control. Not their parents, not the principal, not the president of the U.S. It starts with them and it ends with them. To end this epidemic of bullying they have to standup for one another.
I always keep a good manicure because these are acrylics. They're the safest because your real nails are actually sharper than acrylics.
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 it comes to the live events, you get to see great Diva matches you don't see on 'Monday Night Raw.'
As far as lighting and blocking, camera angles and facial expressions, all that stuff that has to be very specific in film, as opposed to in wrestling where everything is larger than life and you're performing to the masses.
I know I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods.
One of my favorite courses to teach is when we go to the Air Force. We've done a few at Air Force bases. What's great about that is that it's a one-week course. It's five days and we work with them for about eight hours a day. We're not only teaching them self-defense, but we're also teaching them how to teach it on base to others.
I think the first time that you win the title - you just don't know how to make the most out of your title reign until you've had one and then you've lost it. Once you lose something, you know how much more it means to you.
As someone whose profession relies heavily on physical activity, I definitely felt extra pressure to get back to my pre-baby shape.
That's one reason I really love 'Supergirl.' It's a great show for people to watch with their children - sons and daughters alike. It features strong female characters which is always something to appreciate.
I would say my most disappointing moment was not competing in a match even though I was Divas Champion at 'WrestleMania XXVII.' Although, I did get to be a part of a fun backstage segment with Stone Cold, the Rock, and Mae Young... not too shabby!
In fact, one of my good friends is an amazing Bollywood choreographer. She once asked me to perform in one of her shows in college. So, I have danced to the Bollywood music and it was great fun. It is tiring and requires a certain level of fitness.
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.
From a very young age I was someone who stood up for others and myself.
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'm a really evil person on TV! It's way more fun to be the bad guy.
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.
I wish new moms wouldn't be burdened with the pressure to get back into pre-baby shape so quickly.
When I went to college, I got an engineering degree and a full scholarship.
My parents never really pushed me, but I was so hard on myself. I would say I had some perfectionist quality, to a fault.
When I was young, I loved gymnastics, but I discovered when I was 15 that I wanted a teenage life.
When I was in 4th grade, my mom was diagnosed with oral cancer. It was not looking good, it was serious when they found it. Obviously, I didn't know much about what was going on. I remember feeling a lot of guilt about it, feeling like I somehow contributed to it. I think that's just something that kids often do.
I look forward to having a president who doesn't grope or objectify women.
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'm just sending a message to women that you can be anything you want to be.
I think any time you get the chance to represent the title and to earn the title, you learn how to represent it in the best way. You learn how to wear it with honor, fight for it with honor and really become the face of WWE for the Divas.
All of the Divas are given opportunities. It's kind of the way you go after them and what you do with them. I feel like I was able to seize the opportunity I was given, and now I am Divas champion.
Jiu-jitsu is something I absolutely love.
I never planned on going into MMA or anything like that.
Anyone who reads the comics knows Maxima comes to Earth in search of a mate among the superhero population - specifically Superman. She's denied by him and she becomes very angry and bitter. We'll see how that history plays out in the show - every adaptation is a little bit different, but 'Supergirl' does a great job with the source material.
I've been really impressed with 'Supergirl.' It's a great show because it's appeals to DC Comics fans, staying true to the characters in spirit and costumes, and it also appeals to casual fans who enjoy good action, fun storylines and interesting characters.
The Divas division is always an uphill battle. We have a group of really hungry and talented women. It's just a matter of being able to showcase all of us in the right light and with the right stories.
It's really important to take your own personal safety into your own hands.
All the Divas work hard, they're all threats. They're just not as good as I am.
I've always fantasized about facing Lita.
The whole time I was in WWE, I was like, 'We need a reality show,' because the stuff that goes down is just crazy.
I really miss so many of the people at WWE.
Sometimes you experience magic out in the ring.
I always wanted to be liked, and I thought that if you were nice to everyone then everyone would like you. That's not always the case.
You can be feminine and wear heels, dresses, and makeup, and still be a powerful woman - physically, mentally, emotionally.
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.
If a predator tries to get a hold of you, yell, kick, and punch. Do all of the typical self-defense measures you've heard of - eye-gouging, knee to the crotch. Anything you can do to cause a scene.
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.
It's easy to say standup for yourself. The problem is if you don't feel like you're physically capable of handling the repercussions of that, especially at a young age, it's hard to do that.
The Great Khali is incredible. He is an international superstar and a movie star too.
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 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 always had a passion for competition and performance.
My background in gymnastics, martial arts, and dancing has translated very well in the ring.
