It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret.

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.

It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret.

As you grow older and young people come up to you with their history books, you realize that some of the things I have been able to do have been impactful. But for me, I try to keep everything in perspective and stay humble.

The rewards are going to come, but my happiness is just loving the sport and having fun performing.

I do not take steroids. I never have. It's sad to me that people want to point fingers. I don't do that. That's not me. I wouldn't feel like a human being.
