Wrestler

It was always a dream for me to do my debut match at WrestleMania, and people would laugh at me. People would laugh at me all the time for my crazy ideas.

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.

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

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.

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.

There was a lot of prejudice towards Russians in Latvia. When I went to school, often Latvians didn't like me, and Russians and Latvians didn't like Americans, so that was a whole other prejudice.

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.

So much of our life is dictated by our mindsets. So much of it! Of how we think, we shall become.

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.

When I look at Stephanie McMahon's entire career, I'm always blown away at how she just moves your soul. Literally, my heart is moved by her. Either I hate her or love her - or love to hate her.

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

I have been a professional dancer and athlete my entire life.

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.

There are so many things I'm so proud of: if we're talking just in-ring stuff, participating in the first-ever women's royal rumble. I was so grateful to be a part of history. I never thought there would be an all-women's royal rumble.

Even I doubt myself sometimes. I mean, there's days that I get down on myself, and I doubt myself.

I was always drawn to the more physical style of dancing. That is why I breakdance. I love the challenge. The adrenaline rush is there with that.

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.

I don't like telling people what my plans are, because I have big plans.

I always believe shooting for the stars, and at the very least, you can land on the moon.
