I guess it's the Russian side of me that takes me a long time to get close to people.

I grew up in Russia. I grew up in Latvia, to be exact.

That's what we do in WWE: we tell stories.

I can promise you this: I will be the greatest woman to ever enter WWE, and I will leave the greatest legacy that WWE has ever seen.

I love the beach; I grew up on the Baltic Sea. I love the beach. I love the water. I love surfing and swimming.

I am so, so, so grateful that I am going to be a part of the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble.

People love a good scandal. We love a good freakin' scandal and a good soap opera.

I know I can fight. I know I have kicks that can destroy people. Just because I haven't gotten in the ring in my career, that doesn't mean I'm not capable of crushing people.

I appreciate America as the land of opportunity. It's the land where you can see your dreams come true if you work hard. My parents are American.

Oh my gosh, I was so nervous at Wrestlemania when I debuted. I never had a live match ever. I'd had practice matches, but a practice match in front of no one is very different from a real match.

I do think I have more fun being a villain, definitely. It's just more fun to be a villain.

Even if it's in front of 200 people, I love wrestling so much that it doesn't matter the number. When you love what you do, it doesn't matter the amount of people.

I embody 'Ravishing.' I come out in the most ravishing dress. I have a ravishing entrance. I'm ravishing people's hearts.

I am a strong believer to follow your own path, no matter what people think.

I've been a Rusev Day fan since before there was a Rusev Day. I feel like I was the forerunner of it all. I saw something in him before the WWE universe saw it in him, back when they were booing us for being patriotic to our countries.

To me, when - just like when you watch a movie or you watch a TV show, to me, you know, Nicole Kidman or Leonardo DiCaprio, you know that they are actors, but also, great actors find that extension of themselves. So, when I walk through that curtain, I find the extension of myself of being the Ravishing Russian in there.

Life is not always going to be roses and rainbows. You are going to have uncomfortable moments. It's what we do with those moments that is going to count and determine our destiny.

I'm not perfect; I make mistakes all the time. All I can do is to try my best to learn from my mistakes, take responsibility for them, and do a better job tomorrow.
