Never quit. Never give up.

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 like squirrels. Theyre so adventurous.

I like to hike and play with my dogs and spend time with my family. We go out to family dinners a lot.

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.'

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

Believe, don’t fear, believe.
