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

Gymnastics uses every single part of your body, every little tiny muscle that you never even knew.

I think that to be a competitive athlete, you have to be goal-oriented.

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's not a whole lot of events out there on television, especially in the years between Olympic Games.

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

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.
