And I wouldn't take on such a big thing if I didn't think I could nail it.

And that's what I've learned too: writing is key.

Royal Canadian Air Farce, and I was in three sketches there. And they wrote some really great stuff for me.

And I wouldn't take on such a big thing if I didn't think I could nail it.

Recently, I went up to Casino Rama to see Martin Short's show, just to see how he put it all together. And after the show, I went backstage and picked his brain to find out why he did certain things.

We got great ratings and fan interest, and that's what management wanted.

There really isn't a day when I wake up and DON'T have to be someplace.

Now, at this point, I can wrestle, I can go out there and cut an entertaining promo, I can also do the backstage stuff... and if you can contribute more to the show, you have more staying power.

And in the future, you know, maybe there's kids in the future for me, I don't really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I'm doing at this level for this long. So, it's like, would Vince give me maternity leave?

I'm good friends with The Rock, and I talk to him all the time. And he says that, even though his movie career has taken off, he misses the instant gratification of wrestling, and the live crowds, and I could see being that way myself.

Yeah, the record for most titles was previously held by the Fabulous Moolah, she won it four times. And a few weeks ago, I won the title for the sixth time, which has never been done before.

I'm missing a knuckle, it's crushed inside my hand at the moment.

As far as wrestling goes, as long as my body is able to withstand the physical beating, I will keep wrestling.

Each championship is unique and special.

Well, actually, the Second City thing came about because I was taking a few improv classes there. I thought that the improv classes would help with my wrestling career, which it has.

But as much as I am personally proud for winning five championships, I'm equally proud just being part of a women's division that has gotten so much better with all these great athletes here.

As far as luxury goes, about the only thing I do is... I go first class all the way. I live on the road, so when I'm out there, I'm getting the nice hotel suite, I'm getting the luxury car, I'm eating the good food, and I make sure I take care of myself on the road.

I think I can finally say I am at my most confident and comfortable out there, physically.

And I have the support of the writers: I have a great relationship with the creative team, and they have a good hold of my character and my personality, and they come up with some great stuff, and I'm forever trying to change it up, keep it fresh.

Oh, gosh, okay... well, my biggest injury was probably a bone chip in my ankle that required surgery.

And I'm so thankful that I've been allowed to show another side of Trish.

I keep the drafts of each poem in color-coded folders. I pick up the folders according to how I feel about that color that day.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

I didn't want to start relying on what someone else thought was right. It was easier to go away all together.

It's best to be ruthless with the past

The Millennium Stadium thing was for the Tsunami concert. It was a thing that I think every band in the country would have liked to be a part of at the time that it happened.

Is it possible to run a big industrial corporation in a benevolent fashion? We see these days that even the hippest companies hide some rotten practices to make their profit margins work.

The guitar is the easiest instrument to play and the hardest to play well.

I suffered from self hatred so much. It's like I didn't want to look like that any more. I didn't to feel like that any more. It had to be another way.

I am the government.

Never forget the morals instilled in you and what really matters in Life. Never let other voices of other people drown out your inner voice.

Home base is the support system where we have a culinary team, my own writers because of the shows and the books and stuff, we have a culinary team of about six people. Marketing, public relations, accounting and all that sort of stuff.

I love snacks, but I'm kind of growing out of them. I'm getting into fruit and Clif Bars.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

I made a commitment and a promise to Ms. McSpadden, Michael Brown's mother, that I will pursue justice with the family at every avenue, be it on the federal level or at the state level.

The need to be right is the sign of a vulgar mind.

The course that I have uniformly pursued, ever since I became a missionary, has been rather peculiar. In order to become an acceptable and eloquent preacher in a foreign language, I deliberately abjured my own. When I crossed the river, I burnt my ships.

In order to make any kind of living, you cannot afford to say no. If anything comes up, you've got to take it; you've got to grab it with both hands because security is really not there.

A lot of people have trouble with their second novel - the dreaded sophomore jinx. I wrote three books in between the two novels, and they just weren't very good.

I have never articulated a specific number, but I think a nation as great as we are, that professes to favor freedom and liberty, that we would find a way to evidence that in our criminal justice system by achieving what we know we can achieve: a reduction in crime, a reduction in taxpayer expense, and a reduction in the prison population.

'Paper Planes' was an accident. It wasn't a song we made for the masses. It took two years to get popular, and there were many fights about censoring the gunshot sounds.

Giant pots of curry dark and brooding as a sudden summer storm where apples and onions and huge hunks of meat are simmered into submission over hours.

I didn't play football in school, but I've been a fan of football all my life. I have a fair understanding of it. Doing movies about it really helps because you know what makes them work and what doesn't.

Abstraction is an esoteric language.

Impropriety is the soul of wit.
