On if it was hard to open up about her personal life in the book:

Professionally, I’m a perfectionist and to allow people to see that maybe I wasn’t always perfect or put together — that my actual personal life was very messy at times…it was scary to let people know that. But at the same time that’s part of my healing process knowing that it’s OK and you’re not alone. That’s my message, I’m not alone and neither is anyone else.

On what she understands better about her father being a WWE Superstar now herself:

When I look back, I just wish I could have been more understanding in 2008 when he retired, because I just couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t just walk away from the job….But now being apart of the company [WWE] and understanding what it’s like to be in the main event, to feel the rush of the crowd…that’s what he did for his entire life and I understand now why he couldn’t walk away. Now I see why [but] in 2008 I couldn’t understand and I just gave him a hard time and we just went separate ways. But it was a growing process for both of us.

On how it has feels to be redefining the WWE women’s division:

I think because I’m in it, it’s really hard to take myself out of the bubble and see how much we’ve accomplished as a whole. Even now when you look at posters or how many storylines the women have just from three years ago, it’s mind boggling to think that we’ve made such an impact in such a short amount of time. But the future with the Mae Young Classic, where women all over the world competing in one tournament that’s solely just women, that goes to show that who knows how that’s going to translate eventually on the main roster.
