“I feel like I’m small and mighty and pack a powerful punch, just like Tide PODS.”

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?’

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.

The man who feels like he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body, when he goes into the ladies room, it’s the other women whose privacy it seems to me as being violated by having this man walk in… regardless of how he feels.

I’m a gay man in a woman’s body.

Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that’s where it should stay.

I always tell my students, go where your body and soul want to go. When you have the feeling, then stay with it, and don’t let anyone throw you off.

We aren’t bodies at all; who we are is the love inside us, and it is that love alone that determines our value. When our minds are filled with light, there is no room for darkness.

In L.A., I’m twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.

Life – a spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.

It’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.
