I feel like I'm really blessed and lucky that I have a very good social life outside of the gym, and I have a really amazing family. My parents are so supportive. I have a younger brother and two younger sisters, and they're really awesome. So I feel like I get the best of both worlds. ↗

I was always really inspired by watching the older girls competing, just seeing other Olympians do great things, and I just really wanted to be a part of that whole experience. And to be able to represent USA was always a goal of mine. ↗

I'm focused now, definitely. I absolutely need to show everyone that I'm powerful and strong and can be graceful and artistic, too. ↗

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything. ↗

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp. My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby - nothing more. ↗

I like to think I get better with age, but maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder. ↗

I made my first album, and I guess it wasn't a fluke, because now I'm on my 16th. ↗

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool. ↗
