Gymnastics is not only a good thing to live by, but it is important to understand how it does help you in life.

I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.

Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold.

I always have someone to look up to, and I think it helps me with motivating myself.

Well-I don't know if anyone would really ask me to prom.

When I was younger, my coach, Liang Chow, made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice, do exactly what Chow told me to do, go home, come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps, I did 50 squat jumps.

I was always known as that stocky, muscular, powerful, short, athlete. People always wondered if I was on steroids, and it was because I wasn't that long and lean, flexible, artistic gymnast. It didn't affect me too much but it got to the point where I tried to be that long and lean gymnast, and it just wasn't possible.
