Being undefined somewhat makes me nervous, but what I do know is I'm 100 percent confident in who Charlotte is.

Women tend to overthink things.

I definitely think Natalya is one of the greatest of all time.

We continue to hire women who seem to already be polished and who have already made it outside of WWE and whose whole goal was to get to WWE.

When I debuted on the main roster, people just hated me. They were booing me. Social media got to me a bit. They were like, 'She's just there because she's Ric Flair's daughter.' I was like, 'Why doesn't anybody like me?' It really got to me.

We don't have an off-season. Every other sport has an off-season. It just goes to show how tough we are.

My comfort zone and where I feel most natural is being a heel.

They used to say a woman would never main-event a pay-per-view. I'm pretty sure I heard that from my dad.

Sitting front row with my little brother, my older brother, and my dad's wife at the time - seeing 80,000 people at the Citrus Bowl emotionally pouring their hearts out watching my dad retire - I didn't even grasp what he meant to the industry. I didn't even fully grasp it until I started wrestling myself.

I don't need approval from people who don't know me.

I never felt comfortable in my own skin, and I feel like I missed out on a lot of high school experiences because I was so worried about where I fit in because I was so confused.

I started very late in the game, and it hasn't changed my path to success.

To know how far I've come as a person and an entertainer and a businesswoman, I just hope I represent independence and intelligence and athleticism - everything that a woman should want to be.

That is a message I hope to send and that I know all the other women hope to send: that no matter what your job is or what you want to achieve in life, anything you set your mind to, you can do.

I spent 26 years watching my dad, and I didn't know anything about the business until I started myself.

Nothing is more important in our industry than respect.

Charlotte Flair is continuing her father's legacy but paving her own, and she's opening the door for women all over the world to be superstars in a male dominated industry.

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.

That's my message: I'm not alone, and neither is anyone else.

If you find something that you're passionate about, your world can change.

I didn't want to hurt my parents' feelings about how hard certain things were in my 20s, how hard it was when my dad left my senior year before I went to college.

I know, some kids, their parents have nothing in common and don't ever talk. I can call my dad at 3 o'clock in the morning, and I know he is going to answer.

I wasn't used to people critiquing how I looked. And then always hearing, 'God she looks like Ric Flair.' Yes, he's my dad. Who am I supposed to look like? I took it so serious and to heart.

Why do something unless you are going to be the best at it?

I started in NXT when we were still FCW in Tampa.

Having new opponents re-energises us as talent, as we're not having to make new out of something that's been the same every week.

You don't want to get complacent and just accept things - just because we've had those moments and we have come so far, you don't want to ever take that for granted, because the moment you do, it can all go away.

If someone says something vulgar to you and you retweet it, now you're giving them a voice, and you never want to give hate a voice.

The most important thing is for women not to tear other women down. Everyone in our division is helping each other, and that's a message we send behind the scenes: that we are a unit and working to make the best product and highlight women as strong and independent superstars.

I walked out very nervous, my first WrestleMania, and I had my dad beside me.

I look at myself in NXT, and then I look at how far I've come on the main roster. I just think in my mind if I keep working as hard as I do and keep giving it my all that I will continue to get better.

Obviously, having my dad's last name, I think that's more the chip on my shoulder because it has been a mixed blessing. I always will have the Flair stigma, and I think that's where I deserve to be there or this, or I'm not just his daughter. I think that's the chip on my shoulder.

I almost think there's a mystique to not knowing everything about me.

I didn't start my career or, really, my life before I came to Florida.

I don't know if me and my dad have necessarily touched on this because we talk about Reid but not a lot. But me wrestling, I think, ultimately saved my dad's career and not only saved my life but definitely put a whole other chapter that no one saw coming because it could've been rock bottom after my brother passed away.

I didn't think of my size as an advantage or as something that I could use to be dominant. I didn't carry myself in the ring with the confidence that I should have.

My dad was able to wrestle so many great Japanese wrestlers.

When the fans were watching my dad, you could never tell if this was real or is this fake, and that's what made him so special. Every ounce of energy went to being The Nature Boy.

I wish I was more like my character. In character, I am the queen. I am strong. I am confident, sometimes cocky. I'm hard to beat. Out of character, I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a best friend and just the girl next door that likes Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

When I first started in the WWE, I had a really hard time because I didn't look the part.

I am all athlete, and that's important, that my looks have nothing to do with what I do in the WWE.

The most challenging thing that female wrestlers face is time. Getting those segments on Raw, getting one, two, three, four segments on SmackDown, main-eventing a pay-per-view, being considered a face of the division... And I have said it since day one: I want to be an attraction for the company.

I had an athletic body my whole life.

I want to be the female Rock.

Most of Charlotte's character is really who she is. A lot of who Ashley is is Charlotte and the same with my dad. It's not like I'm the Joker.

I spent the whole time I've been in WWE trying to build this character who is unbreakable, who is not vulnerable, and who is not relatable. For me to let down my guard and let people in, I had to make that decision, and once I did, I had to own it.

If you had asked me in my early 20s or in high school if I was going to wrestle, I would have laughed at you.

No one understands what it's like to walk in the shadow of a famous father, let alone Ric Flair, in the wrestling industry.

Growing up with a famous father, and one who mastered his craft, it's one of those things where, do you really want to be in the same profession? I can't imagine the pressure on, say, Michael Jordan's kids. But for me, I think it's molded me into the character that I am today.

I think I definitely work out of my father's shadow, but it was hard in the beginning. But I would never change my last name, and I couldn't be more proud to carry on his legacy.
