I'm not the kind of girl who breaks down in public.

I love chocolate. I like milk and dark chocolate, but definitely not white.

As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.

I'm a typical college girl; I love to shop and gossip with my roommates about boys and whatnot.

I like that my body is in shape and toned, and isn't too muscular. I feel I still have a woman's physique.

Wake up every day knowing that today is a new day and only you can determine the outcome of that day. So dream big, accept the challenge, and never look back.

It was probably right after I made my comeback - after retiring post-2008 Olympics - when I finally felt more at ease with my body. Being away from the sport helped put things in perspective.

I really want to go back to school and finish up my sociology degree.

I like to mix up my workouts to keep them fun and interesting. It makes getting to the gym a lot easier!

Control is the basis of all true power. Authority and strength are matters of perception

Stars are much further away from where they are now for those who have no dreams and no intentions to reach them!

Love is my love, love is my religion.

You can always tell when someone's lying to you, because they're male.

It’s not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It’s not the end-all, be-all of my life.

Touring with Iggy Pop was something to do. It was good fun. I got drunk a lot.

Real revenge is making something of yourself.

It was never my intention to cause you pain. Whether you feel strongly or very little, that does not excuse thoughtless behavior." - Adam

A guy knows he's in love when he loses interest in his car for a couple of days.
