I&#8217;m the last one doing this. I&#8217;m the last one in my family that is in WWE and competing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Bret Hart&#8217;s advice about writing the book:<\/b> &#8220;I was scared that what if nobody likes the book? What if nobody buys the book? What if people hate it? Bret Hart actually gave me the best advice&#8230; He said, &#8216;Write the book for you. Just write it for you&#8230; You won&#8217;t go wrong. If you write the book for you, you won&#8217;t go wrong&#8230; You can&#8217;t make everybody happy, but you can make yourself happy, and you&#8217;ve got to write the book for you.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On her father Jim Neidhart&#8217;s warning about the wrestling business:<\/b> &#8220;My dad said to me, he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Nobody in our family has ever beaten the house.&#8217; And I didn&#8217;t understand exactly what he meant&#8230; The house is wrestling. He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Nobody has ever beaten the house from Stu [Hart] to Owen [Hart] to Bret to Davey [Boy Smith]&#8230; I don&#8217;t want you to get hurt, and I don&#8217;t want you to end up in this business broke or broken.&#8217;&#8230; In a family that&#8217;s done everything&#8230; I won&#8217;t be the first person in my family to win championships, but I can be someone in my family that is not broken.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On how a question from The Rock shaped the book&#8217;s ending:<\/b> &#8220;I wanted Dwayne [Johnson to do the forward&#8230; When I asked him for his help, in true Dwayne fashion, he researched the part&#8230; He was, &#8216;What does legacy mean to you, Natty?&#8217;&#8230; And because Dwayne had asked me that question about what does legacy mean to you, he helped me with the very ending of my book. He helped me close&#8230; It was because he asked me that question for his forward that I started writing. And I was like, &#8216;That&#8217;s the ending&#8230; now I got it.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On writing about TJ Wilson&#8217;s injury and his message to Chris Bey:<\/b> &#8220;It was very therapeutic for me being able to write about TJ&#8217;s injury&#8230; Chris Bey&#8230; was finding a lot of inspiration in TJ&#8217;s story. And TJ told Chris, he&#8217;s like, &#8216;Just don&#8217;t give up. Just keep going. Don&#8217;t listen. Doctors might tell you this, but just keep pushing&#8230; redefine your story.&#8217; TJ said, &#8216;These doctors&#8230; they don&#8217;t know how we&#8217;ve survived and thrived in pro wrestling. To survive in pro wrestling, you&#8217;ve got to be the toughest person in the world.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Rick Rude dressing as Big Bird and giving bunnies for Easter:<\/b> &#8220;Rick Rude was one of my dad&#8217;s best friends&#8230; growing up, Rick was at my birthday party, and he was dressed up as Big Bird. When we were kids&#8230; Rick was dressed as Big Bird. I remember one Easter, Rick had bought bunny rabbits for us. Imagine somebody for Easter giving you real bunnies.
