I never saw gender as a barrier.

I struggled with my confidence a lot.

Do your best to spread positive messages.

These people want you to quit just like CM Punk did.

I always saw myself working for the family business.

All women are forces of nature, and I believe in their power.

'Monday Night Football' is a competitor to 'Monday Night Raw.'

I affirmatively have watched WWE programming my whole entire life!

It's not a male-dominated anything... It's WWE, and it's for anybody.

I kicked a boy in the shins in second grade for making fun of my father.

There's only room for one dominant female in the McMahon family... and that's me!

I was not allowed to date wrestlers, or anyone else in the company, across the board.

It's taboo for me to date wrestlers [on her father's opinion of her dating wrestlers].

A lot of brands just push messages out on social media, but that's not what social is about.

Bottom line - if you work hard, and if you believe you can, then there's nothing you can't accomplish.

I would prefer to get more sleep, quite frankly, because I think I would be more productive at everything.

UFC is not a competitor to the WWE because we are entertainment and UFC is competitive sport. It's very different.

Oh, I don't know about that, Jericho. See, when it comes to the bedroom, The Game always came up a little bit... short.

Pop culture is a huge strategy for WWE: our storylines are reflective of what's happening in the world and what's popular.

Be grateful. That's one of the most important lessons in life, I think, is to just be grateful for every minute, every moment.

Whether you're a mother or father, or a husband or a son, or a niece or a nephew or uncle, breast cancer doesn't discriminate.

Professional wresting is like performance art. It truly is. You're taking the crowd on a ride, on an emotional roller coaster.

Giving back has always been instilled in me since I was a little girl. To me, it's been something that's a been part of my life.

But in a game, you have a pocket forming, your vision is better and - at least for me - I just get a better feel for what I'm doing.

UFC, they can make a big star but the second that person loses, they lose credibility, and how do you continue to make that star rise?

'Monday Night Raw' has been a huge part of my life, and when you think about it, I mean, life imitated art. That is how I met my husband.

Social is about engaging, it's about a conversation, it's about listening and then responding, it's an ongoing conversation with our fan base.

When you think about the impact and the legacy that 'Monday Night Raw' has had on the media, entertainment, and sports worlds, it's significant.

I would love to wrestle at WrestleMania! And who knows, if the time is ever right and the moment calls for it, it would be a dream come true for me.

I brought my daughters actually to Staples Center to watch me live in the ring - to watch their mother compete in the ring. It was a very proud moment for me.

I think anybody has, regardless of your gender, we all have equal value if you have value to bring and value to provide, you just have to be willing to use your voice.

There are several key pieces to keeping audiences engaged, and the evolution of that. One of them, mostly importantly really, is to have a brand that has purpose and value.

If you've witnessed bullying or if you're being bullied, tell somebody you trust. Tell mom and dad. Tell your counselors or your coaches. Tell your teachers. Tell an adult who you trust.

The number one quality is charisma. You have to be able to connect with the audience. That is that magic "it" factor that designates a star from someone who is just never going to be a star.

If there's anyone who makes you feel badly about yourself or anything that's bringing you down, you don't need it in your life. Negativity begets negativity, but positivity begets positivity.

You can't teach charisma. You can draw it out of people if it's there and they haven't quite figured out how to utilize it yet, but it's just one of those things, that's why they call it the "X factor".

My father knew my husband long before I ever did. He actually always says that he loved him first... there really was this wonderful respect and admiration between the two of them before I even came into the picture.

I think I have let ego get in the way sometimes - the pendulum swung pretty strongly. I was maybe a little overconfident at one point in my time, and then I went way the other way and thought I wasn't capable of anything.

The strategy is obviously a business decision to have limited advertising on the WWE Network. We want subscribers to know that there won't be commercial breaks during scheduled programming, so your shows won't be interrupted.

My very favorite wrestler of all time was Andre the Giant. He was sort of like my best friend, believe it or not, and I have a picture in 'People' magazine of me sitting on his lap when I was 8 years old after 'WrestleMania I.'

A lot of brands just push messages out on social media, but that's not what social is about. Social is about engaging. It's about a conversation. It's about listening and then responding. It's an ongoing conversation with our fan base.

It's very important that you tell someone when you are being bullied - someone that you trust. You should never be quiet when you are being bullied or when you see someone being bullied. It's so important to stand up and say something.

I've never felt my gender was an obstacle. There have of course been moments in my career when it has slapped me in the face but the reason I felt it slapped me in the face was because it wasn't something that I had contemplated before.

There are several key pieces to keeping audiences engaged, and the evolution of that. One is a content-first strategy because you need to provide the best possible product, no matter what your brand is, it's got to be a great, incredible product first.

My father has this expression that you have to be able to look yourself in the eyes in the mirror, you know, and know that you're a good person. If that's true and you feel good about yourself then that's all that matters no matter what other people's perceptions are.

Once I graduated college, I did a couple of different sort of unique internship positions, if you will. I spent three months in my mother's office, who was then the CEO of our company, and I really got to just sit in every meeting that she had, and I would write down questions on a yellow legal pad.

There are several key pieces to keeping audiences engaged, and the evolution of that. One of them is a content ecosystem, which is leveraging and utilizing as many different platforms as you possibly can to continue to drive the conversation so people have the opportunity to enter your brand from different ways.

I think it's one of the secret sauces to our success, if you will, is that our fans are a part of our show. They engage, they chant, they cheer, they boo. There's a problem when they don't react. So, in essence, every live event is like a focus group. So we are getting that real-time feedback from them in the arena.

A lot of people know about the power of the WWE brand. We're in 145 countries in 30 different languages. We reach about 650 million households worldwide on a global weekly basis. But what they don't know about WWE is that we use all of that power to give back to the community through events like Hurricane Sandy Relief.
