I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

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.

I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.

With each year that's gone by, and as I grow up and get older, I've become more mature, of course, but you have a sense of who you are, and you find confidence in that.

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.
