The majority of the things that I do, I'm actually afraid to do, but you just have to have a positive attitude and block out any fears that you have.

I'm focused now, definitely. I absolutely need to show everyone that I'm powerful and strong and can be graceful and artistic, too.

I think imperfection is beauty. Instead of being insecure about my muscles, I've learned to love them. I don't even think of it as a flaw anymore because it's made me into the athlete that I am.

I've never been cocky. Even right now I don't like to talk about the Olympics.

I just stay focused, and I always think about gymnastics. I am just doing what I always do... working really hard and pushing myself to the maximum and keeping myself motivated.

You have to give 110% all the time. 100% isn't good enough anymore.

I was two years old when my mom put me in mommy and me classes. I always had a lot of energy so it was the perfect fit!
