“I don’t fear what will happen, but you just get ahead of yourself, like, ‘Oh my gosh, I wish it would happen now.’”

I think for me, the most fun competition that I’ve had was my first Worlds.

At some point, I’ll have to go get a real job.

I love a good Netflix binge!

Sometimes I hear the crowd cheering, and most of the time your body’s on auto pilot, so sometimes even after I do a floor routine, I’m like, ‘Did I really just do that?’

We’ve always had each other’s backs in and out of competition. We support each other the most because we’re the only ones that know what it’s like to go through what we do, and so we can’t be more thankful for each other. We’re like sisters.

I just keep surprising myself, I guess.

I have everything I need, so there are no blanks left unfilled.

Most of our fans don’t get to interact with us or know our personalities except through social media.

I was missing out on public school and going to the football games, prom or homecomings. But I’ve been to three World Championships. So I think it’s like a win-win.

When we had free time in the Olympic Village, we got massages and rested while watching Netflix.

It was a very long and hard decision. My dad kept telling me, ‘You can always go to college, but you can’t always go pro.’ That made sense to me.

I don’t necessarily have favorite brands.

I tune it all out because if I let other people’s stress get to me, then I stress myself out more than I need to.

It’s amazing that I can inspire little kids to know that you can be short or tall, and your body type doesn’t matter because you can do anything.

I make breakfast, which is usually Kellogg’s Red Berries or egg whites, and then I go to the gym that’s only 10 minutes away.

Gymnastics is just one part of my life, and I’m having as much fun with it as possible.

The person I am in the company of my sisters has been entirely different from the person I am in the company of other people. Fearless, powerful, surprising, moved as I otherwise am only when I write.

One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.

Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment; good men hate sin through their love of virtue.

I tell myself I can live without you. And it terrifies me that I don’t know how to.

Should we not be concerned as to whether this fear of error is not just the error itself?

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.

Divide et impera must be the motto of every nation that either hates or fears us.

We are ready in short, to dedicate our strength to serving the needs, rather than the fears, of the world.
