I'd say I'm quite powerful so I'm not afraid of jumps or acrobatic elements. The hardest part is... get on the beam and stay there on top of it!

All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement.

On the balance beam, sometimes it's really hard to stay on if you're having some rough times.

Remember - you can't beam through a force field. So, don't try it.

I think that when you are on a four-inch balance beam, you don't care about laughing or smiling or waving to the crowd because you're going to be down in a second.

I can't be as flip as I once was.

I can run up a wall and do a back flip - that's the most impressive thing that I can do.

I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.
