“We strive for greatness.”

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.

I don’t really think about the degree of difficulty or the possibility of making a mistake. I just try to relax and let my preparation and training take over.

It hurts my head, but it’s fine because it’s something I do every day. You can’t avoid the gymnastics questions.

I didn’t really ever dream of going to the Olympics until after 2012.

I think we have other things to worry about than some Zika virus.

I love competing.

I’m thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.

The great person never loses a childlike spirit.

You can learn great things from your mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.

The great companies did not know that the line between hunger and anger is a thin line.

To me, comedy is a great occupation because I don’t really worry that much about what other people think of me.

Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

It is difficult for men in high office to avoid the malady of self-delusion. They are always surrounded by worshipers. They are constantly, and for the most part sincerely, assured of their greatness.

The primary reason in starting a business part-time is not so much to make a product great. The real reason for starting a part-time business is to make you a great businessperson.

Purity, patience and perseverance overcome all obstacles. All great things must of necessity be slow.
