[Her thoughts about the popularity of Deal or No Deal]
Leyla: I think the show's success is due to the simplicity of the game. There's no trivia, no skills, no physicality of any kind.

[On her hair]
Leyla: I've always had big hair, throughout high school even, and the funny thing is people are always saying my hair is fake. That's like the number one question I get all the time.

[What she thinks the hardest part of the WWE Diva Search was]
Leyla: Probably seeing the other girls go only because we started to bond, and I know that everyone probably hates that but we started to bond and we didn't like to see anybody go.

[On posing for Playboy]
Leyla: I never say never. At this point in my life I don't think that I would. But who knows, in the future anything could happen. But right now I don't think I would.

[On why she moved to California]
Leyla: I moved for the fashion industry. That was my passion, I had a clothing line. Then the acting bug bit me and it's history from there.

[On her being a party girl]
Leyla: Definitely not a party-girl! Contrary to popular belief, I am not a big partier-at all! For me a wild experience is going to Vegas, sitting down at a blackjack table and betting 10 grand on one hand! Now that's wild. If I go out, I go out big! But the idea of going to a bar or club and getting wasted isn't really my idea of fun.

[On her favorite part of the WWE Diva Search]
Leyla: Traveling to different cities each week. Meeting the fans in each city...stepping out in front of thousands that was pretty incredible. You feel like a rock star! I really have memories that will last me a life time. It was an enormous, challenging, exciting experience.

[On what she thinks her breakthrough role was]
Leyla: I think the Diva Search definitely put me on the map so to speak. A lot of people still to this day recognize me from that but now I think Deal or No Deal is really the show that's making Leyla a household name. Did that sound cocky? I hope not!
