Gymnastics has made me strong. I feel like it broke me down to my lowest point, but at the same time, it has given me the greatest strength anyone could ask for.

The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!

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.

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

When it comes to gymnastics, you can be 30 points ahead going into that competition, but on that day, it's all about luck. It's about who has a good day, who stays healthy, it's how happy the judges are that day, there are so many different factors.

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

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