I've always believed that I performed better under pressure.

I don't kiss and tell.

When I was younger, my mom worked at a roller rink, so I'd go all the time. I learned to skate pretty well. I won the limbo all the time.

Now I find my happiness in my music, what I'm doing in the ring, and being a mom. No one thing controls my happiness.

I love healthy competition, since I already know I'm the best in the world.

We've all had our share of relationships failed.

You don't want to lose the nostalgia of being a superstar.

I guarantee you, 9 out of 10 people in the world wouldn't step in the ring and do what I do, nor could they. I think we have one of the hardest jobs in the world.

It's always a big thing when you get to hold the championship because it shows that not only are you capable but that the company as a whole has faith in you.

I've always wanted to sing so badly, but I didn't think it was something that was possible for me. Plus, I didn't think I was good at it.

I have planned my whole future, my whole life. And nine out of 10 times, it never happens the way you want or plan or think it's going to happen.

I think it's human nature to say, 'You're a wrestler. That is what you do.' I think it can be hard sometimes for people to understand that you can have more than one thing you like to do.

I definitely want to go down as the greatest of all time. That's what anyone who has ever wanted something believes.

I've had a lot of opportunities to grow inside and out as a performer, artist, and a woman.

One really never knows what tomorrow holds. That's why you make the most of every moment - good, bad, or indifferent - and own it like only you can.

I have horses.

I'm not against competitive racing. I obviously grew up with horses.

I've always wanted to run my horse farm.

I love English and literature.

I have kind of reached the pinnacle of wrestling.

My stepfather was a country music fan, and I grew up on a horse farm, so the older country, that's what he listened to.

I kept doing tryouts, and finally, after five years I got signed by WWE.

I wanted to have something to fall back on. I got my degree in business administration.

Probably the first artist who really captured me was Tim McGraw. His songs 'Don't Take the Girl' and 'Indian Outlaw' were fun, and he was different than a lot of artists.

It's cool to be able to give your fans, and people in your life, a look at a lot of things that are going on.

I do not want to get hit in the face for real. I'll get mad.

I grew up listening to all music, not just country.

I stopped trying to plan a long time ago - whatever's meant to happen for me in the future will happen.

I love pizza. I want to marry it, but it would just be to eat her family at the wedding.

Ultimately, jokes are this really special thing that we can all share. It's exciting to have basically a thousand people in a room together that can laugh at the same time, but I think of it almost as, like, a religious experience.

My dad goes through war novels like I go through boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I listened to this interview once with Jerry Seinfeld that really influenced my comedy and all of my writing, which is that when you're starting out in comedy, it's the audience that tells you what's funny about you. And you need to listen to that and make a note of that.

The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.

My first car was, as depicted in 'Sleepwalk with Me,' my mother's '92 Volvo station wagon that had 80,000 miles on it, and I had put 40,000 miles on it, so by the time it retired it had 120,000, and I basically killed it. It served me well, and my mechanic was always very angry with me because I just didn't properly care for it.

Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.

When I was growing up, I didn't know who Jewish people were, what it was to be Jewish.

The way I view comedy clubs is, people are drinking, they're ordering food, they're out for the night, and there's also a person onstage talking. And with the theater, they came to the theater, and they're waiting to hear what you say. So you'd better have something to say.

The thing with film is that it's so wide-reaching compared to comedy. When I release my comedy special, half a million people will see it. If I release a movie, five to ten million people will see it.

I actually wasn't really the class clown growing up. The class clown was always the mean guy who walked up and was like, 'You're fat. You're gay. I'm outta here!' I was always more kind of awkward and introspective.

I love Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.

I never looked at my parents' marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, 'I gotta get me some of that!'

I've yet to write a stand-up show that isn't autobiographical.

Someone gave me a piece of advice once, my first manager Lucien Hold. He said, 'If you do stand-up about your own life, no one can steal it.' I always thought that was the best piece of advice.

People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

The one thing you're most reluctant to tell. That's where the comedy is.

My wife and I always comment that our lives are relatively mundane. She's a writer as well, I'm a writer, we spend most of our time writing, and kind of going to yoga in Brooklyn.

I'm going to end up making twenty films if people let me.

You know the expression, 'You're only as sick as your secrets?' I believe that, and I think I try to have my work live by that to a degree.

I grew up in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and went to college in Washington D.C.

You don't really see sleepwalking in films that often. It's weird; I feel like in popular culture we have the perception of sitcom, arms-in-front-of-your-body sleepwalking, and then maybe Olive Oil and Popeye when she sleepwalks through the construction site. But it's all very cartoonish, in some cases literally.
