I like that my body is in shape and toned, and isn't too muscular. I feel I still have a woman's physique.

I'm a firm believer in if you work hard you should play hard. So I try to keep my life as balanced as possible to keep my sanity.

Growing up I definitely looked up to Dominique Moceanu. She was my favorite gymnast and she was on that '96 Olympic team. She was always so fun to watch. I kind of wanted to model my career after hers.

I feel blessed to have an opportunity to try out for a second Olympics team and if it doesn't work out, hey I gave it my all.

As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.

I'm not the kind of girl who breaks down in public.

It was a dream come true for me to be at the Olympics.
