“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!”

If they said, ‘Do five pull-ups,’ I would always want to do 10.

My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.

I’m not a celebrity. I’m just the same Simone. I just have two Olympic Gold medals now.

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.

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.

I’m excited about the aging process. I’m more interested in women who aren’t perfect. They’re more compelling.

Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life.

If you’re changing the world, you’re working on important things, you’re excited to get up in the morning.

I want to see the world and do all kinds of exciting things, and a little money won’t hurt.

I cook, I create, I’m incredibly excited by what I do, I’ve still got a lot to achieve.

Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.

If having hoes excite you, then you still a lil nigga.

Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.
