I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.

I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.

I've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.

What's really heavy on my heart is fighting physical inactivity.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.

I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.
