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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Nothing is more important in our industry than respect.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
