Gymnastics is a lot like life. You don't become an Elite gymnast by bickering and having a negative attitude. You have to be positive to get to that level.

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

For the most part I'll probably do floor exercise and balance beam. Those are the two things that I do.

Above all, you have to love what you are doing. You cannot fake passion. If you love it you can fight through the rough times and enjoy the good times.

I will be talking with gymnasts from some of the other countries. I will be getting a feel for what they're thinking and what they're doing. It should be a really great meet

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.

I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.
