When Im competing, I need to be strong.

I havent mastered the art of sitting and smiling.

Adding an Olympic medal to everything that I have already accomplished would be so huge for me.

I love to win, honestly. ... If you love to win, you should say it. And honestly, I'm hooked on it.

I really believe that women who are confident in their natural beauty are the most beautiful

I've had so many critics over the past couple of months. I've had so many people who said I'm too old for this, I am burnt out. But, you know what, I am so hungry to make a career for myself. I was able to turn all this negativity into something positive.

For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.
