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.
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 love WWE so much. There is no greater love than the WWE Universe. I know we are in a love-hate relationship, but at least they feel passionate about me. They love me one second, then boo me the next. That's what I love about the WWE Universe.
We went through this month camp, learning how to bump and hit the ropes. I just fell in love with WWE and sports entertainment. It was the perfect world of the merge in sports, action, acting, and entertainment. I felt like I finally found my place.
I consider myself Russian-American because I'm American by ethnicity and by passport, but I spent all my forming years over in the former Soviet Union in a Russian school. I never went to an American school. There was a lot of culture shock when I moved back to the States when I was 17.
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 love the beach; I grew up on the Baltic Sea. I love the beach. I love the water. I love surfing and swimming.
As a villain or a superhero, as a good guy or a bad guy, I think I can do, at this point, 'Okay, whatever you need boss. Is this what you need? Great, I will grab the brass ring doing it.'
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 want to be a voice to young children and women and people of all ages to go for their dreams, to be resilient and have courage. Don't let fear motivate you. The American Dream says that all things are possible, and I genuinely believe that.
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 do think I have more fun being a villain, definitely. It's just more fun to be a villain.
There is nothing more than the world to me than performing in front of the WWE Universe. So I would like to do it as long as I can. As long as they will have me.
People love a good scandal. We love a good freakin' scandal and a good soap opera.
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.
I love performing and entertaining, but what I want to really share is a stronger voice to the people and empower women to show that women and girls can do anything. Don't ever let your gender stop you from chasing dreams.
I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.
With WWE, I got this audition and thought there was no way that I was going to actually get the job. They were doing the WWE Diva Search at the time, and I didn't think I would get the job because I wasn't a wrestler.
Lana is 100 percent an extension of me, but just one side of me. I feel that's what I get really excited about because on 'Total Divas,' you are going to see other sides of me.
