I love listening to Lil' Wayne, Drake, and Eminem to get me fired up!

You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.

I wanted to finish on a stronger note. Fighting through that routine, you know what I was like, 'I'm just fighting through.'

I'd tell any girl who continues to love gymnastics enough to want pursue a college scholarship to keep pushing yourself 100% in the gym every single day.

I've learned how to stay humble. I don't want to get in over my head because when you do that it takes you off your game.

Gymnastics does take great focus and concentration. What I do is look to my coach. He keeps me focused. And I meditate to get myself confident before the competition floor. That helps keep me focused, too.

Everyone was telling me you have this great potential and you can be on top. I didn't believe that, but everyone was just telling me to believe in myself. I did and I'm kind of up on top and it's amazing.
