I've always lived my gymnastics career with a lot of passion and a lot of purpose.

Gymnastics is just one part of my life, and I'm having as much fun with it as possible.

I'm really good at gymnastics, and that's about it.

Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.

I grew up doing gymnastics. It requires discipline, eating right, getting sleep, lots of sacrifice. But the pros outweigh the sacrifice.

I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics.

It is fine to be all focused on gymnastics if that is what you want to do, but once you are finished with gymnastics, what are you going to do?

I think gymnastics trained me as a person, too. Without the lessons I learned in gymnastics, I would be crushed.

Gymnastics demands so much of our time. We train all week and travel and compete on weekends. The people you're surrounded by really become your second family, your best friends, your sisters. My coach was like a second mother for me.

I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age.
