Quotes from Nikki Bella

My first nephew, he couldn't say Auntie Nicole, so he called me Coco. So ever since then, everyone's called me 'Coco.'

I'm like, 'John, people treat me differently because they just look at me as a girlfriend,' and unfortunately, that's our world. Now all of a sudden - just within hours of him putting a ring on it and asking me to be his wife - it is crazy the level of respect people have for me.

We started to have more women and little girls in our audience, where it started to be 40 percent female that sat in our live audience.

I think my mom is kind of this way, too. We're just such strong women. My mom's been through so much, so I think that's where I got it from.

Lifting is what's made me stronger and made me look better. Not only does it burn fat amazingly - and I think it's really honed my body - it's also given me the strength in the ring to lift girls up. I can literally lift anything on my shoulders.

There is so much I want to do in this world, and you only live this one life, and it goes by so fast. So I totally love to take up every second of the day doing what I love, being focused and driven and taking on a new opportunity or venture, or making sure the ones I already have are going to be the best ever.

I will admit, the dominatrix look has won me over!

I am so excited to be an aunt.

The Authority has the power to turn everyone against me, and they have.

For me, nothing is off limits.

There is nothing better than working out with your loved one.
