I was supporting Aly [Raisman]. I will always will support them and respect them. I don't want anyone to take it as jealous or I wanted attention.

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

I've learned how to stay humble. I don't want to get in over my head because when you do that it takes you off your game.

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.

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.

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.'

Sometimes I like to watch videos of myself and see how confident I was.
