Always be courageous and strong, & don't fear. You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.

The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.

Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.

I used to have this lucky rock and I used to always have to rub it three times before I competed.

Never quit. Never give up.

I blast "Northern Sky," by the Capital Kings, on the way there, but at the gym, I totally zone out.

I just want to inspire all those people who gave up and said 'I quit,' Never give up!
