I burn so many calories when I work out that I don't really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.

It took putting one foot in front of the other every single day to get through it to the point where I made it back on the team and won a gold medal in 2008.

It's clear that women athletics are pretty far behind in every way. In terms of facilities, how much we make, everything.

My life is a beautiful struggle.

I wear my dad's cross. It's very important to me. I hang it in my locker before each game.

L.A. is a bit strange. It doesn't seem like the real world.

I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.
