I was a perfectionist in gymnastics.

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

For a gymnast to be successful, she needs to strike a balance of everything within herself. She needs to be graceful, flexible, perform all elements, turns, maintain co-ordination - she has to have all of that. If, for example, she only has co-ordination and nothing else, she will not succeed.

Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.

Yes, gymnasts aim for perfection, but I never thought about the score. If that's what's in your mind, it will probably mess you up.

It's definitely a necessity to make split-second decisions when you're doing gymnastics because things don't always go perfect.

I was a gymnast for many years before I was a dancer, so it comes in pretty handy when we do stunts.

My gymnasts are always the best-prepared in the world. And they win. In the end, that's what matters.

I've still got a few moves from my days as a gymnast.

In gymnastics, everything is a competition. You want to have your hair look the best and your makeup look the best. You want to be the best, and you want to have the prettiest leotard.
