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

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.

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

Face each day with the expectation of achieving good, rather than the dread of falling short.

I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.

It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good

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