I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest

I think it's really important to look at the big picture instead of just one competition

It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good

At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.

Floor exercise, the longest you run is two or three steps. In the vault, it's not a whole lot more than that.

There is always going to be a reason why you can't do something; your job is to constantly look for the reasons why you can achieve your dreams.

Go into the sport because you have fun doing it, not because of 'what ifs' and dreams of gold medals. That way, no matter what happens, you win.
