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.

There's nothing better than going out there and seeing USA on your leotard.

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.

Gymnastics is my whole life, and I dream of going to the Olympics and being a world champ.

I was so happy to go to prom so I could have a mental break because I've been working so hard. It felt so good to feel normal for once, and then the next day, I was in the gym again.

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.
