"I'm not a bad person."
"First and foremost, that was always my passion: I wanted to wrestle, but unfortunately, it took me down a road that I can't do that anymore."
"I was at rock bottom for a year and a half - and the people who got me out of my rut were my fans."
"To be the first NXT Women's Champion is such an honor."
"I was born into the business, literally. My mum was seven months pregnant with me before she realized it, so she kept wrestling like normal up to that point."
"I want everyone to know that they can accomplish anything they want at any age if they just be themselves. I want to encourage millions to chase their dreams and to never change. Everyone should also know how to throw a good right hook!"
"NXT is a land of opportunity."
"I couldn't really get a grasp on wrestling at a young age. I knew it was what my parents did, and they fought people. It scared the crap out of me, so I thought, 'No, I can't do that. I'll get beaten up!'"
"When I got a little older, like, 10 or 11, my dad would run a training school every month, teaching people how to become wrestlers. I would get in the ring now and again and mess around with one of my brothers, and he'd teach me some stuff."
"Emma gave me some of my favorite matches - the NXT Women's Tournament and then NXT ArRIVAL."
"I grew up watching Bull Nakano, and she was amazing."
"I find it really hard to be close to anybody."
"Not only was I a victim of viral humiliation but a victim of cyber-bullying."
"The great thing about WWE is the fact they are branching out and doing more brands. Having this just creates more opportunities for everybody, and I just want them all to get a chance. Especially in England. I know we have a lot of British superstars, but it's still a lot harder for Brits to come over here in America."
"WWE, I'm just full-on Paige, my in-ring character. 'Total Divas' is where I can completely be myself and be my lunatic, weird person."
"You can always tell the difference - who is a wrestling fan and who is a 'Total Divas' fan."
"I have a message about how you should completely be yourself and not give a damn what everyone thinks about you. Look how you like; you're amazing how you are."
"I like the fact that 'Total Divas' give you a behind-the-scenes look at what really happens."
"Maybe I could manage someone and be the female Paul Heyman."
"When I first came up in the wrestling business, there was a movie called 'The California Dolls' about a female tag team - girls who are struggling trying to make it in the wrestling world. I started out in a tag team, and my name was Britani Knight, and my dad named us after The California Dolls. We were called The Norfolk Dolls."
"People who are not in the wrestling business don't understand the struggles that all of us have to go through to really try to make it."
"My dad was always a great talker on the microphone, so I tried to learn a lot from him in that way, and he's very old-school. He built the wrestling family that we have."
"My mom, she's just a baller in the ring. My scrappy side and my aggressiveness are probably coming from her."
"I'm not good at opening up with people."
"I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junky."
