When you sign up for a reality show, you have to put your personal life out there.

One thing that I'm super fortunate of - I grew up in a house where it was all about health and fitness. My dad was a wrestler; he was a boxer. He's always been into working out, and so I was the only kid in the first grade that got carrot sticks at school instead of chips.

I wouldn't have traded my career path for anything.

I just feel so lucky and fortunate to be a part of all these 'first-evers.' Now it's getting to a point where we don't even have to say the 'first-ever' or anything like that because it's just become the norm. Before, it was, 'Oh my gosh, the women are the main event of 'Smackdown' tonight.' And now it's, 'The women are the main event.'

I've always put my career first, and it has been difficult on my personal life.

I'm a private person who doesn't relish making her personal life public.

When I had other things to deal with in my personal life, people were telling me to come and play for Scotland. So I'd come but then not play. I'd prefer people just to be honest with me and say whether they really want me there or just as a back-up.

I like to control my own personal life.

I don't want anyone being put off going into politics because they fear their personal life, family and relatives will be spread all over the media.
