I know how much more I need to do to be where I want.

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

I don't call them sacrifices. I call them exchanges.

I was under pressure because of what people were saying about my physique.

In 2008 I didn't take it all in enough. I was so wrapped up in just the competition that I missed what was going on around me. If I am given that opportunity again to go to the Olympics and be an athlete I want to take it all in because I feel like this is my last shot and I want to feel the team spirit. I want to really live and breathe the USA.

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

I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.
