If you quit once, it's so much easier to quit the second, third, fourth time.

I was always really strict on myself about doing everything possible to prepare for competition.

You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.

You know, I feel like if I don't change something, then the results maybe are going to continue the way that they have. That for me is not something that I want to really be a part of.

I'm a competitive person and it is in my nature to try hard in every match I play. The only time I'm not competitive is when I'm playing against my mom.

It's difficult sometimes when you have somebody who is of a different culture trying to make light of something that is maybe not quite something that they understand.

Seeing the Olympics come to China made me want to get more involved.
