There's never going to be a system that is fair to everyone

We typically don't choose our athletes until about a month prior to the Games because anything can happen.

I want to bring more gymnastics on television.

There are parents, siblings, teachers and friends, but counting on them to motivate you isn't fair. They've all got their own lives, and while the may be able to help you out, if you can motivate yourself, then you're golden.

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

When I go in to compete, whether it's gymnastics or anything else, I do my own thing. I compete with myself.

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.
