Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it's like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic Games.
Everything I do is in the gym, so I'm always in gym clothes. I'm excited to explore lifestyle clothes for a little bit.
They're like, 'Oh, you did a...' and I'm like, 'I did a what?' No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go, 'It's called a...' and I'm like, 'Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.'
The floor exercise is a way to express your personality.
When we had free time in the Olympic Village, we got massages and rested while watching Netflix.
A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I'm doing. It's not always winning. People, I think, mistake that it's just winning. Sometimes it could be, but for me, it's hitting the best sets I can, gaining confidence, and having a good time and having fun.
At some point, I'll have to go get a real job.
At the end of the day, if I can say I had fun, it was a good day.
You don't have to be serious all the time to do a good job.
I don't fear what will happen, but you just get ahead of yourself, like, 'Oh my gosh, I wish it would happen now.'
I would be like, 'Oh, my gosh, I wish I could go to prom.' But then I think, 'You know what? A lot of people can't say they've ever done what I do - they'll never have this opportunity.'
My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.
It hurts my head, but it's fine because it's something I do every day. You can't avoid the gymnastics questions.
Gymnastics is just one part of my life, and I'm having as much fun with it as possible.
You can have fun and do well. Just let loose a bit.
You can still be very good at what you do and have fun.
Stay healthy, have fun with it, and embrace all the moments. Because anything can happen.
Most of our fans don't get to interact with us or know our personalities except through social media.
So far, my goals stops at making an Olympic team, and then if that happens, then I'll jot down more goals.
