MICHELLE MCCOOL

I've been to Australia once before, and we went to Auckland, New Zealand. We were there for a few days. It was absolutely beautiful, so I'm very excited to go back there.

I'm addicted to success, failure is not an option.

I think the Divas Champion is the perfect combination of athleticism, beauty and brawn.

Snooki is famous for absolutely nothing.

I kept my teaching certificate active while I was with WWE. It definitely wouldn't be something that I'd mind going back to.

It's hard because it doesn't matter what you do, most people still identify me as Undertaker's wife.

When we can give back to the real heroes, that's what I find rewarding.

Sure, Maryse is the Divas Champion, but I find it no coincidence that she supposedly got 'hurt' the week after she stole my title.

Fortunately, the shooting pain in my back masked the pain of my broken sternum.

If I had to pick somebody I really had a crush on right now - solely based on looks alone - it would be Matthew McConaughey. He does it for me.

I'm taking each day one day at a time, and building up my strength and endurance. It's crazy because it takes no time at all to lose everything you have and then so much time to gain it back.

It's not easy to always be yourself.

It's the all-American girl gone bad. Initially, the name callings from 6- and 7-year-olds was tough. My heart was in my stomach. But it is more fun to play someone that you are not.

The backstabbing, the clawing, it's always there. It definitely comes up more when you're on TV a little more often.

I actually got online and went to check my e-mail, and I always look at the top news, and I saw my name and I thought, 'There's got to be another Michelle McCool,' or 'This is a mistake,' or something!

The athletic part I never struggled with. It was the promos, the talking and, being uncomfortable in front of the crowd. Especially being a 'bad guy,' having people call me names, that was hard getting used to.

I like to think of myself as a class act, and there are very few guys that meet all of my qualifications.

Bottom line: People in our business are always going to look to find reasons to see the negative in somebody and to become resentful.

You know, I thought seeing Aretha Franklin last year was amazing, and I didn't think anyone can top that. But if someone can, John Legend would be the man. In my mind, he's a legend, no pun intended.

Leaving was tough because it got to a point where - I was dealing with so much, mostly being Undertaker's girlfriend while I was on TV. There was even a writer who threw the papers up one day and said, 'Why don't we just call it the Michelle McCool and Undertaker show.'

I haven't noticed too much of a difference between Italian guys and American guys, but we're sports-entertainers so maybe they know to stand back a little!

Not only do I do things so much better than all of my fellow 'Divas,' I make being bad look so good.

When I went off to college my dad would call and be like, 'hey did you watch RAW?'

I'm just a small town girl who enjoys making people happy.

It's not easy to filter out all the negative things people say and/or write about you.
