Always be courageous and strong, and don't fear.

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.

I would love to be a role model.

I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair? I'm like 'I just made history and people are focused on my hair?' It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about my hair. Nothing is going to change. I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it.

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

If we set our minds, we can achieve anything.

My mom says I'm a fighter, a fierce competitor, and I think I am, too.
