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.

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

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.

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.

I don't think I have the mileage on me to really complain of any injuries yet.

In gymnastics, the longest routine you do is a minute and a half, and that's pretty tough to get through.
