I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.

That people believe I can be Olympic champ, it just spurs me on.

I can't believe that I'm on the Olympic team.

I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

You feel the Olympics and you get chills and nervous and a little scared. You go through the emotional roller coaster at what it's like to compete at the Olympic level and you let that run through your whole body.

I think it was just me who thought I could be Olympic champion. I've been telling myself that, and I did that.

I'm in awe of any Olympic champion, for sure.

You always imagine everything will go so smoothly in the Olympic season.

I've won a world championship, I know how that feels. I don't know how it feels to win a gold medal. I want to feel that; I want to know that.

You never really think about what happens after the Olympics - you're just like, 'I want to compete. I want to do well' and thinking about that. After it all happened, it was such a whirlwind. I've gotten to do so many amazing things. My favorite thing was getting into acting.
