“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.”

You don’t have to be serious all the time to do a good job.

I think I’m teaching my teammates that they can still be successful while having fun and enjoying the moment rather than being a stone cold brick.

There are goals that I have, and then I dream of it, and then I make it a reality. If I could crawl out of my skin and see it, it would be really amazing.

I feel like it’s harder because everyone knows I’m the three-time world champion – it’s almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen.

The floor exercise is a way to express your personality.

Stay healthy, have fun with it, and embrace all the moments. Because anything can happen.

You can’t get too caught up in yourself.

My parents make sure we have everything we need so that we compete to the best of our abilities.

For me, I don’t think about size – I focus more on being powerful and confident.

As athletes, we’re always going to have aches and pains, but when your teammates cheer you on, you don’t think about it.

I never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.

The support down here in Rio has been amazing – between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg’s, I’ve felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.

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?’

I just kept touring and touring until it became second nature to go on stage, perform, and sing.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

I’d love to do my own music for sure. I’d love to have a band.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have any songs that are about how much I love someone. They’re all either about, like, ‘I hate you,’ or ‘You make me hate me.

I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.

Making music is like shopping for me. Every song is like a new pair of shoes.

I’m trying to bring a little bit of every type of sauce into one type of sound. Something that’s really fresh.

Even if you’re the best singer in the world, there’s a good chance no one will ever hear you.
