Go into the sport because you have fun doing it, not because of 'what ifs' and dreams of gold medals. That way, no matter what happens, you win.

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

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

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

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

At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.

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