Retiring was scary and it was tough to give up gymnastics, but so many great opportunities have come from it that I never expected.

I love lean meats like chicken, turkey. I'm obsessed with sushi and fish in general. I eat a lot of veggies and hummus.

I always feel like I'm the young one, I'm the small one.

My coach, Liang Chow, had one rule while I was training for the 2008 Olympics: no skiing. I could do anything I wanted outside the gym, he said, except ski.

Everybody sacrifices something in an attempt to reach what they think society wants.

I don't want to be all power and muscle.

I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
