Even if you have the talent, you still have to push yourself. I don't think dreams magically appear, that's why they're called dreams. But if you do want to make that dream a reality, then you have to push yourself. It takes a lot of hard work, and if you don't have the focus, then it's going to be all the harder. If you have a big dream, it takes all of the above to achieve it: passion, the focus and the effort.

For me going down in history being the first black American to win the gold, I think more colored people are going to start coming to the gymnastics world and say 'okay, anything is possible. If Gabby did it, then I can do it too.'

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

I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.

I want to do all roles. The skys the limit.

I'm a very good bowler, which I discovered a few months ago.

Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!
