It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems.

If you can't handle all the injuries and scars, choose a less demanding sport.

I thought about running a marathon a long time ago, but I'm just not a runner.

Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that.

The rate of childhood obesity is just ridiculous. Anytime I can get involved with teaching them how to get physical exercise, I want to help in any way possible

And we realized that it was kind of a starting point for gymnastics, to go professional, and also to just get a lot more of the audiences in the arenas on the off years, in the years that we're not in the Olympics.

At an Olympics Game, you want to enjoy it, especially if you know it's going to be your last one.
