Stacy Keibler em entrevista

Numa recente entrevista à WrestleZone, Stacy Keibler falou sobre a WWE, o Dancing With The Stars, a carreira de actriz (e possível nudez em papéis) e um eventual retorno ao wrestling.


Sobre a WWE:

Stacy Keibler escreveu:

I left the business because of the lifestyle. A lot of people will tell you how hard it is to be on the road. You don’t have a car or hotel paid for. You get dropped off on a Friday and you have to get around the state. A different city each night. You are away from friends and family. It was really tiring. I wanted to be more normal and sleep in my own bed every night.

Sobre a participação no Dancing With The Stars:

Dancing with the Stars was a huge stepping stone. That really opened up doors for me. My dream has always been to be an actress.

Sobre a saída da WWE logo após a participação no Dancing With the Stars:

Actually, that was my decision before Dancing with the Stars. I was going to take a year off. It was great timing when the show came because I would have been any other blonde walking around the streets of Los Angeles. I thank my lucky stars. When Dancing with the Stars was going to end, I would only have two months left on my contract. Halfway through, WWE wanted to renegotiate my contract.

It was as simple as wanting First Class airfare. They asked me who I thought I was. They told me I was no different than any other Diva. But 30 million people were watching the show. I could not go anywhere without people excited about the show coming up to meet me. All I wanted was the protection of having First Class. They said, ‘absolutely not.’ Plus, they didn’t want to give me any more money. So, it was an easy decision for me.

Sobre a carreira de actriz:

Stacy Keibler escreveu:

When I’m not working, I’m in acting class three or four times a week. And I have made a career of saying no to things. Instead of seeing me everywhere falling on my face, I’ve said no to lots of things. I have tried to pick very good projects and do very good characters.

Sobre nudez no cinema:

Stacy Keibler escreveu:

It’s not something I want to do. It’s not who I am. It’s not a part of my personality. I recently turned down a part in a movie and many other roles that would have been awesome parts and could be stepping-stones. But it’s not what I represent.

Sobre a sua nova mini-série "Samurai Girl":

Stacy Keibler escreveu:

Without giving too much away, I have such a great character that shows up halfway through. I bring a lot of surprises and stir the pot. I do some sword fighting and martial arts. It was such a different character for me to play and sink my teeth into.

Sobre um possível retorno à WWE:

Stacy Keibler escreveu:

I'll never say never. It was a great chapter of my life. I grew up in the business. I made friends. I had life experiences that people three times my age will never have. I entered it when I was 19 years old. It doesn’t get any better than traveling around the world and walking out to fans screaming your name. I will never do anything again where I will get a rush like that.
