I like squirrels. Theyre so adventurous.

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.

Serena Williams [ispires me]. The first time I met her, she was like, "We should hang out and go to dinner," and I'm like, "Uh, yeah! If you insist."

It's definitely important to have your mom and family there to back you up and cheering from the stands.

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.

You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
