I've been an athlete most of my life and on a disciplined schedule. Working out for me is just part of my every day.

Who cares if somebody dances better? Doing my very best is rewarding internally.

I think we should all be pursuing something of zero regrets, and how do we become greater than we were yesterday.

Every Olympic athlete prepares differently. For me, I am 100 percent into the sport. And if I decide to really make a crucial career decision to say, 'This is something I want to do,' I want to leave no stone unturned in my preparation.

My first car was a Toyota 4Runner when I was 17. I paid for it myself. I was very happy.

I wanted to play football or be a boxer, but my dad didn't want that because of all the impact. But in 1992 I was watching short track, and it was obscure, but they looked like superheroes in their tight outfits, and I thought it was amazing. I wanted to do that. I made the national team at 14.

My 'go to' workout is called the Asylum from Beach Body. It's intense training with lots of intervals, core work. It's hard! I travel a lot, so I can take it on the road with me and do it in a hotel room.
