Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

Hot yoga is the best. When you're in [class], there are no cell phones, no talking, no distractions. You're taking a leave from reality for an hour or so.

I get less and less sleep these days, so when I have any down time all I want to do is sleep!

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

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

I have a lot of expectations and a lot of goals I want to fulfill, but the biggest dream is still to make the Olympic team for London.

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.
