Everywhere I go, I hear 'Welcome back.' But everywhere I have been, I have always been with myself. I'm with myself now more than ever. It's funny people say 'Welcome back' when I haven't gone anywhere.

Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.

I want people to think they can't die until they see me play.

Now that I have conquered social anxiety disorder, I find pleasure in fans approaching me.

As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.

There is no need to smear my name or to defame my character for the sake of news.

I have no room in my life for any form of negativity or nonacceptance.
