Quotes
"You know I would love to look at myself as a role model because I feel like when you are able to have that many people, there is 47 million viewers a week, you are able to have eyeballs on you so I feel that it is the perfect opportunity for me to be a role model for younger women because so many women look up to the Divas. They are all amazing, they’re all sexy, they’re all beautiful, strong women, and I think it is a great way to represent women in entertainment. I would love to serve as a role model for others and kind of encourage women to receive education, to do well for themselves, be strong, and powerful."

"Even being in front of thousands of people at an arena and dancing, it was absolutely nothing compared to being on Raw. The fans are so passionate, WWE fans are so passionate, so excited, there is so much energy in that arena when you go out, and it just blew out anything that I have ever done in my life. I have performed in front of thousands of people but to go out there, put yourself out there and tell everyone why you should be the Diva didn’t even compare."

"To me, WWE just represents the epitome of entertainment and that’s what I love to do. That’s my passion. So I decided it would be an amazing opportunity which is the reason thousands and thousands of girls applied for this position and go to these castings. The WWE is just such a wonderful company to work for. It’s on three different networks. It’s huge. It reaches so many people and I decided it was an amazing opportunity and it’s really a company that I respect and a sport that I respect."
