I never have prayed to win a gold medal at Olympics and never will. The Lord is my Shepard and I shall not want. May His will be done.

Harder than training for the Olympics, harder than graduating from college, has been to stay a virgin before marriage.

Sometimes bad things are going to happen in your life, and those things can make you stronger if you just learn how to get over them.

As a young girl, I just wanted to have fun and compete. There were no goals of becoming an Olympic athlete. I wanted to hang out with my friends. I wanted to do something fun, and that's what I did

Believe it or not, Twitter calms me down. I enjoy interacting with people.

A businessman needs a laptop. Athletes need massages and the right diet.

Stepping on that line for me, it will be about facing my fears.
