If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.

I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps.

I have everything I need, so there are no blanks left unfilled.

I always say my biggest competitor is myself because, whenever I step out there on the mat, I'm competing against myself to prove that I can do this and that I am very well trained, prepared for it.

From Simone Biles

If anybody has a bad day, they'll just come to my room because they know I'll bring out the positive in everything, or I'll make them laugh, or I'll be just crazy.

From Simone Biles

Always work hard and have fun in what you do because I think that's when you're more successful. You have to choose to do it.

From Simone Biles

Growing up, it was kind of a struggle being small, since everyone would make fun of you - except for when it came to hide and seek: that's the only advantage I ever had!

From Simone Biles

It's amazing that I can inspire little kids to know that you can be short or tall, and your body type doesn't matter because you can do anything.

From Simone Biles

The support down here in Rio has been amazing - between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg's, I've felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.

From Simone Biles

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.
