“I love a good Netflix binge!”

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.

I am like any typical teenager.

We go to church on Sunday and then have family dinner. My mom usually cooks, and most of the time, it’s protein and something else. She will ask us kids what we want!

When I was younger, I thought every kid was adopted because that’s all I’ve known. I have everything I need, so I never felt the need to have answers for what happened.

Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it’s like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.

I have dual citizenship.

I would be like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I wish I could go to prom.’ But then I think, ‘You know what? A lot of people can’t say they’ve ever done what I do – they’ll never have this opportunity.’

So far, my goals stops at making an Olympic team, and then if that happens, then I’ll jot down more goals.

Most people would focus on concentrating more, and I can’t do that. It almost makes me overthink a lot of my things. I have to focus on not thinking.

You can have fun and do well. Just let loose a bit.

You can still be very good at what you do and have fun.

We strive for greatness.

As a kid growing up, I was never like, ‘I want to go to the Olympics,’ so having to pass on 2012 because I was too young didn’t bother me at all.

Trauma has deep roots indeed, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pull the weeds.

Love knows nothing of order.

Martyrdom does not consist only in dying for one’s faith. Martyrdom also consists in serving God with love and purity of heart every day of one’s life.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

I ain’t afraid to love a man. I ain’t afraid to shoot him either.

Nothing is bigger than Love.

Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

I love being around people who work with their hands, who do the hard things to keep our country going. They’re just my kind of people.
