I need to learn how to face challenges.

I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.

I started from zero and went back to the basics in gymnastics.

I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.

I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.

I told myself after 2008 that I was done for good. But they say you can't keep a gymnast away from her sport.

I usually work out 4 hours a day during the week and 5 to 6 hours on Saturday, with Sundays off.

I want to go to college, obviously go to London and just kind of figure out the rest of my life.

I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.

I've never had a teammate competing with me my whole life.

Injury taught me I need to learn how to face challenges.

It's about putting in the hours and going through the paces.

It's been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself.

My approach to gymnastics in Beijing was heavily based on the amount of difficulty I could do.

My knee is almost back to normal. I am back in training.

Of course, when you're training your whole life to get to the Olympics, you train for gold.

People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.

People put too much emphasis on looks.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

Staying healthy and consistent is paramount.
