If we can continue to tell stories where fans don't know what will happen next, I think that will be a plus in this 'Divas Revolution.'
— Nikki Bella
That wrestling ring is home for me; it's my passion. I love what I do.
I see traits of my body in my mother and grandmother, and it makes me proud. This shape isn't going anywhere.
I do everything in moderation and count everything... that includes my wine.
I think any time you hear that you're about to paralyze yourself, or even worse, it's just scary because you start to realize how precious life is.
We started to have more women and little girls in our audience, where it started to be 40 percent female that sat in our live audience. So I think, when that was happening and the women were stepping up and saying, 'Hey we can do what the men do,' and then you saw it on a reality show, it was just inevitable for us to have this women's evolution.
I'm definitely willing to film it for sure. I feel like I've taken people on this incredible journey on 'Total Divas' and 'Total Bellas.' They have seen me cry, get angry, and be so many different ways about marriage. I feel like for my fan base, my Bella Army, I should let them tune in to my wedding.
That's all I can be is fearless.
I am so excited to be an aunt.
I have to say I have an amazing therapist. She's my best friend for life. She's taught me how to balance everything out.
I can't tell you how many guys have approached me when I'm doing cardio. Like, I have my headphones on; I'm in the zone, so don't bother me.
I want to be challenged every week; I want to know that my title is on the line, and I have to fight to keep it.
I love playing bad.
There is so much I want to do in this world, and you only live this one life, and it goes by so fast. So I totally love to take up every second of the day doing what I love, being focused and driven and taking on a new opportunity or venture, or making sure the ones I already have are going to be the best ever.
Any female of any age, anyone sitting on that couch, is going to relate to some Bella family member.
I love being on 'Smackdown.' I feel like there is so much more opportunity, and we get to tell such fun, interesting stories. Everyone wants to work together to create gold - it's the best locker room I have ever been in throughout my whole career.
It's crazy what can happen in a decade and how much you can grow as a person and as a woman and truly find your voice.
It shocks me, the rumors people start: that I have the title because of my boyfriend. If that was the case, I would have gotten the title when I came back years ago and still had the title. He has nothing to do with it.
When you've got curves - you need to show them, and I love showing mine!
Believing in yourself and having confidence gives you outer strength.
Support systems and support groups are so important because that's what makes you stronger.
I think just living in the day and age of technology, whether you're a celebrity or a normal human being, you're always worried about your privacy. And I think as long as you behave, you know you're OK. I think anyone worries about that.
It truly feels like all my blood, sweat, and tears have paid off, and you're just excited to be a woman because you're getting just as much time as the men, and you're getting the recognition.
I want challenges. I want to compete. I don't want it to always be easy. I don't want it to always just be a few of us girls. I want there to be competition.
The Authority has the power to turn everyone against me, and they have.
Even though a lot of people keep trying to get me to retire, I won't.
I think my mom is kind of this way, too. We're just such strong women. My mom's been through so much, so I think that's where I got it from.
I like the definition in someone's shoulders and arms. It's beautiful.
When someone thinks they're good at something, you can use it against them, and that's what we did. We did the kiss of death.
I'm not just muscles and headlocks. I need to prove to people that there is an elegant woman in here.
I do talk pretty valley. I totally have this look, and I'm so in love with my man, he makes me talk in a weird voice, and you can just make fun of me easy.
When we started training with WWE, coaches were impressed and asked if we had had boxing training. I said no, it was all soccer. As a defender, I had to learn to stay on my feet, track backwards, and I feel all the movement I do in the ring was helped by my soccer background.
To film with our family is awesome - you have to hang out with each other, and I love that because I hate being alone.
I never would have thought, when I was 23 and first stepped foot in that ring, that it would give me a platform to use my voice.
There's nothing like performing in front of a live crowd and just having people literally react to whatever it is you do, and there's nothing better than when you get that connection with the audience.
When I saw Kate Moss's champagne tower from her wedding, I was like, 'Okay, check - I want that. I want fireworks.'
I was going through puberty and was much curvier than other girls, which made me insecure. Then I saw J. Lo on the cover of 'Latina' magazine, and she embraced those curves and was proud of who she was.
I was loving being the champion, and I wasn't listening to my body. I almost felt like I was untouchable in a way - that I could just keep going and everything would be OK.
You can't just be anyone who is off the streets and come do what we do. You have to train, and there has to be something within you. You have to have athletic ability... What we do is 100 percent athletic. I feel like it's one of the top athletic programs out there when you consider professional sports.
I do not want my man to be exhausted for our wedding day, especially our wedding night.
When you have such a love and passion for wrestling and you love to work, you want to get in with good workers.
The one thing I've said before, the one thing that I've been taught is that when you fall, you get right back up. And I'm up.
I know that with my spinal condition I can never be full time again - I just can't do that, but I do wanna be full time, and I don't want to retire.
I remember walking home one day from school, and this car pulled up behind me really slow, and it gave me a really weird feeling, and all of a sudden it skimmed me, and the man was half naked and tried to pull me into his car and saying crazy things to me. And it was terrifying.
I'm really excited to get my Herve Leger, my Louboutins, and to be rocking the red carpet. I don't know if Hollywood can handle it, but I'm ready to bring it.
You watch someone, and you see how they are, and sometimes you can use that against them.
My nana is elegant, classy, and the most amazing woman that has ever walked this earth.
I didn't want to come back and be mediocre; I wanted to hang in with the girls, and I wanted to prove myself every week.
Everyone used to tell me, 'Just so you know, Divas only last five years around here.' I said, 'What? I want to be here forever!'
It makes me feel young. Dancing just gives you youth. You can get lost in these moments where the day just seems better. There's something very freeing about dancing, and I love that.
