Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.

To have any doubt in your body is the biggest weakness an athlete can have.

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.

I live for Pilates reformer class. I go at least three times a week. It's a great way to lengthen your muscles, stretch, and kind of relax your mind.

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.

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 told myself after 2008 that I was done for good. But they say you can't keep a gymnast away from her sport.
