I don’t want friends to die...or fade away. I don’t want battles where we have to lose in order to win.

Where there is peace, there is sports; where there is sports, there is peace. Peace is what allows us, especially young people, to dream, go after ones goals and prepare you for the next challenge in life.

Building a better life for every child is a lot harder than becoming a world champion. Both goals take dedication and commitment.

The people who should be here aren’t. The ones who should be smiling with me aren’t here.

What I want to avoid is staying at the same place. As I improve in skills, musical interpretations, and acting, I am able to approach each element of my programs with perfection. As Im preparing, I build momentum and confidence until I reach a peak of concentration. It is the moment that I feel my best. Then I can bring out one hundred percent, which makes me satisfied with myself. This is my goal.

I like to be just an athlete, but if I go to competition and compete, I love to be a star, maybe.

You probably shouldn't laugh any more.
