It takes a lot of hard work to achieve your dreams, but nothing in life is easy. If it's something you really want, go after it!

Beijing didn't go the way I planned and I would have liked to have performed a little bit better personally. After Beijing that is what stuck in my mind. I want a better Olympic finish.

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 just tell people to listen to your heart. Anything is possible if you are doing something you love.

I would live at the beach if I could, and I love dancing.

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 literally tried every sport and was miserable. Soccer couldn't hold my attention. I couldn't figure skate. I'm afraid to swim. So I did dance for five years. It came a time where I was getting a little bit bored with it.
