I kind of like to think of myself as the bad girl Olympian that would get kicked out of the Miss America pageant.

Reality TV is set up to make people entertaining. A good person with values and principles is not good television.

As an athlete you're taught to be selfish. When I'm training, it's usually all about me.

People say to me all the time, 'You have no fear.' I tell them, 'No, that's not true. I'm scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I'm a courageous person because I'm a scared person.'

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue really sets the social standard for what people expect the perfect woman's body to look like, and a lot of those bodies usually look the same.

There have always been people who have written me off. They're not going away. I use that to motivate me. I'm driven to show them just how wrong they are.

You have to have fear in order to have courage.
