I love performing in front of an audience and seeing smiles on the kids' faces.

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

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

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.

In gymnastics, you have to be perfect every step along the way.

You have to remember that no matter how big your goals or how many you have, there are going to be times when you miss by a little bit. You have to be realistic and flexible. One reason I have so many smaller goals is that even if my big goals don't happen, I've still achieved so much along the way, I don't feel the loss.

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