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

I want to bring more gymnastics on television.

Above all, you have to love what you are doing. You cannot fake passion. If you love it you can fight through the rough times and enjoy the good times.

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

It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems.

Everyone gets scared, and everyone falls. The key is to get right back up and try again.

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