I am like any typical teenager.		116
I never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.		117
The reaction of the public plays a very important role. It gives us an adrenaline boost, especially when people start to shout and clap their hands in time with the music. That really helps us to go on.		118
Before a big event, I usually go to church and light a candle for St. Sebastian, who is the patron saint of athletes.		119
I started gymnastics when I was six years old. I was at day care, and they took us on a field trip to a gym club, Bannon's Gymnastix in Houston, and that's how I got started.		120

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.		210

They're like, 'Oh, you did a...' and I'm like, 'I did a what?' No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go, 'It's called a...' and I'm like, 'Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.'		214
It hurts my head, but it's fine because it's something I do every day. You can't avoid the gymnastics questions.		215

A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I'm doing. It's not always winning. People, I think, mistake that it's just winning.

I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I've accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it.		305
I didn't really ever dream of going to the Olympics until after 2012.		306
