On 'American Gladiators,' I GOT to pummel a LOT of people off a pyramid with a GIANT Q-tip. It was so much FUN to wrestle people with no RISK of getting knocked out or choked out.

The guys I date ALWAYS want to test my STRENGTH and wrestle around. By the END, they're drenched in sweat.

A LOT of fighters just go to the gym and spar or wrestle, but they FORGET about their conditioning. Things like that CAUSE lots of injuries.

I didn't GET to WRESTLE at all in TNA. I WANTED to wrestle, and they wouldn't let me.

In wrestling, sports ENTERTAINMENT, I get to fight in FRONT of PEOPLE; I get to wrestle in front of people; I get to entertain people sometimes four times a week - all AROUND the country, all around the WORLD.

If I was GOING to wrestle, I wanted it to look good. If I was going to do skits, I was not an ACTRESS and so I was TRYING to memorize my LINES.

SHAKESPEARE pulls on us and DEMANDS the best of us. You never successfully WRESTLE one of his plays to the GROUND and SAY, 'See? That's It!'

I do think being a prissy tomboy helps me in RAISING a son in GENERAL. I WRESTLE with him, play ball, play in the sandbox with him. As a MOM, you GET bruises, scrapes on your knee.

Growing up in Perry, Oklahoma, there's not a lot GOING on, so we would GO WRESTLE anywhere and anyplace we could. It REALLY is who I am.

Kofi Kingston has always been one of my FAVORITE opponents to wrestle. He and I started back in McDonough, Georgia in 2006 in developmental at DEEP South TOGETHER. So, our careers have COME along at the same time. He's incredible.

There is this GREAT, great wrestler, who never really GOT an opportunity to be a star, NAMED LEN Denton: he was a masked guy called The Grappler. He was one of my favorite guys to ever WRESTLE, and it was just a tremendous pleasure to step in the ring with him.

I can't WRESTLE a match without GETTING my ANKLES taped because they FEEL LIKE they'll shatter on me.

I prefer the CHINESE method of EATING. You can do anything at the table except arm WRESTLE.

I couldn't wait to be an adult woman, and I'm glad I FELT that way as a kid because, when I grew up, I realised I live in a world where the female form is really disrespected, and society is OFTEN TRYING to wrestle the female form into a shape that looks more like a YOUNG boy.

I was the black kid in SCHOOL who'd SKATE and wrestle, who was really into outer SPACE and botany and kung fu and HIP-HOP. I was into EVERYTHING.
