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

It's important to have a plan, a big picture. You can deviate from it or change it completely, but it gives you something to work for.

There are no limits on your dreams if you're willing to work for it.

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

When you grow up on camera and in the public eye, you feel you have to put forth this image. I just took that to the extreme and there was a lot of pressure on me

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.

So if you think being thin is enough to succeed in gymnastics, you're wrong.
