I came from the independent scene, and I've wrestled in front of a crowd of four people in a car lot in 104 degrees in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

I got into wrestling to be a WWE superstar - that was my goal.

As a heel, you get to make twists and turns that really sell that character so that you can get that genuine kind of heat from people that want to hate you.

When people have a passion and desire, it burns through and shows.

I'm an artist, a performer... There's an art to what we do to the wrestling... I don't want to really fight anybody.

To be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a huge honor for any one person in this industry. It not only gives you credibility as the mark you made in the pages of history to the fans, but notoriety for the path you paved for everyone who followed in your footsteps.

I was fortunate enough to be able to keep my real name and build a whole bio around Mickie James.

I would really love to win one of the men's championships and throw a complete curve ball, like, out of nowhere.

The indie shows are tons of fun. And for the fans, having that up close and personal experience is so different to watching wrestling on television at home.

Do I want music, or do I want wrestling? I wanted both.

I don't really follow MMA.

There was a match in Alaska that I had with Beth Phoenix at a house show where we had a standing ovation from Ric Flair, Triple H, John Cena, and Arn Anderson. I got to work with her so much that we knew each other's body language. Got a standing ovation from the entire locker room. It was amazing.

I have known Kofi for such a long time. We were in developmental together in Louisville.

I could never see Jeff Hardy as a bad guy, because I just want to hug him. He's an awesome person and super multi-talented.

I am very much a perfectionist, so if I were to turn heel, I'd want to be the nastiest girls out there, where the people hated me.

I'm a big fan of Snoop Dogg - he was super-hot when I was in high school - but I also listen to a lot of Tim McGraw.

I don't really look at myself as a mentor.

I spent two and a half years in Louisville, and I loved it.

I wanted to be one of the best in the business, whether it was male or female.

I want to keep bettering myself.

It kills me to watch bad wrestling; I can't do it.

I really think that some of the best heels are also those people that can really get reactions as babyfaces, too.

My mom is my best friend. She's been my biggest supporter through everything.

I've had to put horses down on the farm before, and it's very, very sad.
