Nothing is going to change. I’m going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well stop talking about it.

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

It's very tough for me to focus. I'm like: 'Look, something shiny! No, focus. Oh, there goes a butterfly!'

If we set our minds, we can achieve anything.

I kind of do think of myself as a superhero and just flying high, and doing these crazy flips.

Words can't even describe how much Olympic medals means to me, because of all the hard work, sacrifice and effort I put in at the gym, and also because of how much my family supported me and sacrificed their dreams for mine. It also means a lot to me, knowing that I became the first African American to win the individual all-around gold medal.

I don't like to try strange foods. I like to explore different foods, but if you ask me to eat crocodile or frogs... I'm like no. That's where I draw the line.
