I was an extreme tomboy. I did competitive gymnastics for over 10 years. I cut my hair like Winona Ryder, with that little pixie cut.
My first novel took 12 years to complete because life got in my way.
If I didn't want to work for a couple of years, I wouldn't have to-it's a great feeling, to know I'm doing it because I want to do it.
Over the years, I've learned, focus on the job at hand, and opportunities will open after.
The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.
Retiring was scary and it was tough to give up gymnastics, but so many great opportunities have come from it that I never expected.
Now I can do no more. We must trust to the Great Disposer of all events and the justice of our cause. I thank God for this opportunity of doing my duty.
Gymnastics is my whole life, and I dream of going to the Olympics and being a world champ.
I want to be back every year. If I don't go, I want it to be because someone else just was having a great season. I want it to at least be a close call.
