I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.

I didn't think I'd be going for another Olympics.

I didn't want to stop before my time was up.

I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I want to be known as a nice and normal person, but my skills are a little more excelled.

I know when things are going to get me a little nervous, because nervous to me feels good.

I want to go out on my terms.

I've got to read the 'Hunger Games' before I see the movie.

I've never been outside Heathrow so it will be exciting to see what London has to offer. I think I've only flown into Heathrow maybe twice.

My biggest goal for the future is motherhood.

Over the years, I've made many sacrifices to win two Olympic gold medals and put together winning streaks that will never be broken.

She had a hit for every syllable: 'Don't. You. Ever. Talk. To. Me. Like. That. Ever. Again.' That was the last time I ever talked back to Mom.

I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.

It's important to just kind of get away from your sport until you miss it. It's about taking time to enjoy other aspects of life or learn new things. It helps rejuvenate.
