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

My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'

You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous!

The other girls [in team] have experience. They've been competing on a lot of international world-class stages. They knew what to expect and what to do and what not to do. Me and Aly [Raisman] just gave them advice on the media side. We said, it's gonna be crazy. It's the Olympics. But it's gonna be fun!

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

Sacrifices are not in vain. At the end, everything will pay off.
