Don't force anything. Find what you love and stick with it.

To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.

That's the drama of our sport. Our margin of error is so small that anything can happen.

I was always trying to be leaner and thinner to fit the standard and the mold.

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.

It's been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself.

Image isn't everything, It's what comes from your heart, and what you learn and what you say and how you act that means more than anything.
