“Everything is possible at any one competition.”

One of my proudest moments was probably 2013 Worlds because I proved to myself that I could do things that I didn’t think I could.

If anybody has a bad day, they’ll just come to my room because they know I’ll bring out the positive in everything, or I’ll make them laugh, or I’ll be just crazy.

Before a big event, I usually go to church and light a candle for St. Sebastian, who is the patron saint of athletes.

If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.

We all have skills, I guess.

People comment on my pictures, ‘Stay healthy.’

Everything I do is in the gym, so I’m always in gym clothes. I’m excited to explore lifestyle clothes for a little bit.

I can only control what I do when I go compete.

The sport is called artistic gymnastics. So you do have to be a little bit of an actress.

For me to compete at the highest level, training and living a healthy lifestyle is an everyday focus for me, and I’m excited to be a part of the Everyday Awesome team!

At the end of the day, if I can say I had fun, it was a good day.

Every year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it’s the Olympics. I’m blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.

I didn’t get the high school opportunity, but it always worked out.

Always work hard and have fun in what you do because I think that’s when you’re more successful. You have to choose to do it.

If I disappoint someone, it’s their loss for putting that expectation on me when they don’t know me. I can’t control what they want.

The reaction of the public plays a very important role. It gives us an adrenaline boost, especially when people start to shout and clap their hands in time with the music. That really helps us to go on.

I wanted the best for my company, I had to do what I did to succeed. Everyone was lowering their prices to beat there competition so I did the same I eventually beat my competition.

At work we tend to compare and compete with others, instead of comparing and competing with ourselves.

I raised my prices since there wasn’t any competition it was just the smart thing to do. Why would I keep my prices up if their wasn’t anyone to beat?

Women’s badminton has become so competitive.

I’ve been very competitive by nature from a young age, whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else, or always wanting to be the first one in line.

I had all these singles come out within a two-month period, and then nothing for almost two years. You start to feel a little irrelevant. You realize how many people there are trying to be songwriters and how competitive it is and how political things can be.

There are actors who can pull of a writer’s lines; I am not competent enough to do that.
