I don't want to be all power and muscle.
From Shawn Johnson
Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.
With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it's a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from.
My parents- they've been my biggest influences and supporters since day one. They teach me every day that happiness comes from within and not from something outside of your heart.
My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.
I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.
To finish off this whole Olympics by finally getting the gold medal, it's the best feeling in the world.
It's about putting in the hours and going through the paces.
I don't know where I'm really going to cha cha, but hopefully I can find a place.
People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.
