I really fought hard to bring that story to life on 'Total Divas,' the factory farming and free-range chicken. I'm shocked to see the positive response because you never know. People could be sensitive to certain things.
I think because of 'Total Divas,' people have gotten to know who we are and kind of see more of the personality of the divas.
I think the one thing about 'Total Divas' is that we all had to open up our lives. We all had to open up that book and show you every chapter we've been through. Then when you start comparing, you see we all have something in common. That's what made us all close.
For myself, I went into an industry I wasn't educated on, and I thought, 'Hey, yeah, let's do this. Awesome.' And I've really had to educate myself in the fashion world: undergarments, fabrics, and learning their language, but it's been really great.
Now, being a fan, I love the difference between 'Raw' and 'Smackdown' - I know that each show will be completely different, and that makes it so fun to watch!
If you're going to do reality, you need to do the good and the bad. I think that's why so many people love Nicole and me. We're real and honest.
As a mom, the minute your baby is born, you all of a sudden have these fears. People always say, 'Don't let your fears get you.' But for me, my fears educated me.
In the United States, I feel like polio doesn't exist, but it very much does. I've been to many countries and saw how lucky we are that we can go straight to the doctor or the ER in the U.S. I would love for moms in other countries to not experience my fears.
I think the success of 'Total Divas' has opened people's eyes to women in wrestling and to WWE divas.
People come up to us at live events or at signings and thank us, saying, 'My wife or girlfriend watches wrestling now,' or that they weren't into wrestling, but because of 'Total Divas,' they are now.
The girls are working so hard to put female wrestling on the map and to make it as big as the men. To see it actually happening... I'm so grateful.
Nicole and I got into wrestling through diva search. It used to be this competition WWE would put on. I found them when I saw the Divas wrestling in the ring, and I kind of just knew it was our calling. I felt like this was exactly what we are meant to do in life. Not only are the girls so glamorous, but they are also very tough.
For any girl who has a dream, they just need to go for it. I think sometimes our fears hold us back, and it's about having no fears and living with no regrets. Whether you fail or you succeed, just make sure you have no regrets.
There were so many times that, as waitresses, you look at your bank account and you literally have 100 bucks, and you're thinking, 'How am I going to pay my utility bill, my rent?' but at the same time thinking, 'How am I going to accomplish my dreams?'
We want to be more than just being the Bella Twins and the stars of these reality TV shows. I want to have a bigger purpose in life. So that's why, with Birdiebee, we really want to give back.
We look up to Jessica Alba. I loved that something bothered her, and she created products around it and built an empire around it.
I think the thing with 'Total Divas' is that everyone truly got to see how different we were, which helped showcase singles careers in WWE, which is something we always wanted.
2014 was a really big year for me because I was able to go into a storyline with Stephanie McMahon, and the WWE Divas championship wasn't part of that, but for me, it was the biggest story I've ever been a part of in my whole entire career.
I look at my grandmother, and she has this grace and class about her. When she walks into a room and sits down and talks to someone. Everything she does in life. I feel that women of her generation were really taught that.
It is actually crazy because with our wrestling career, our coaches were always blown away by our timing, and they always remarked how our chemistry and timing is always perfect. Just being twins, we have that. We don't have to talk; we don't have to communicate. It just happens.
We love going to museums. We are so into history and into art. We find it a great way to decompress.
We love wine, and as with both Birdiebee and the beauty line, we consider these passion projects. When the right partners came to us for each of them, we knew the time was right.
If Bryan is like, 'I'm going to be at the gym here for two hours,' it forces me to keep myself busy for those two hours. It pushes you more! And Bryan is actually the first relationship I've been in where my partner enjoys a healthy lifestyle like me. Even past lifting weights at the gym.
It's easy to hide your body from the chest down if you really want to. But it's not as easy, especially in the summer and spring, to hide your arms. So I think that's something you always have to make sure you work on.
Bryan and I plan to use reusable diapers. There are a lot more options than before. We know it won't be as convenient, but we want to do it to help the planet.
We were on a competitive traveling soccer team for nine years. Nikki then went on and played two more years in college. We both started getting into modeling and commercial work.
When one twin is in need or hurt, the other twin definitely knows it. It really helps us being a successful tag team.
As a competitive athlete, you always want to come out on top and give your best work. So whether it's my sister or any other opponent, I'm competitive.
In 'Total Divas,' our men are our garnish. In 'Total Bellas,' you finally get them in the interview chair, and you get to hear their perspective on the events going on. Fans will get to hear their point of view.
I stay away from sweets. I'll treat myself here and there, but I'll stay away from fried foods, but I love French fries. I'll treat myself once a week to some French fries.
I think it's been fun to show that Bryan and I share a Honda Fit, and we're huge environmentalists, and we're big activists for animal rights.
