I'm only 19. It's kinda crazy if you're older and putting expectations on a poor 19-year-old.

I would hope I would inspire kids everywhere to know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

Thank you guys for believing in my ability and supporting me in my Olympic journey.

It feels amazing to inspire little kids to want to do gymnastics and have fun with it.

To me, I go out there, and I do what I trained. We prepare so long for that moment, so it's just kind of exciting.

Everything I do is in the gym so I'm always in gym clothes.

Sometimes I think of that and I'm like, "Simone, I don't know what else you can do. What more can you do? Maybe you can repeat yourself." I'll take time off, get out more, go outside more, vacation.

I know [people] think I'm taller because it's so close and I look stretched out, but I'm just 4-8.

I'm excited to explore lifestyle clothes for a little bit. I don't necessarily have favorite brands.

[People saying to me] "You look taller on TV." I get that all the time.

In the morning, I usually get up between 7:40 A.M. and 7:45 A.M., and then I'll brush my teeth, do my hair, and just throw on my leotard and my clothes and go to the kitchen.

Any believer who has not encountered the Cross is not yet a follower of Christ

A right way, a wrong way, and a GREENWAY.

They call it the drowning instinct. It's when drowning doesn't look like drowning. (pg. 241)

Freedom is never given it is won.

We begin to find and become ourselves when we notice how we are already found, already truly, entirely, wildly, messily, marvelously who we were born to be.

Let's make sure that there is certainty during uncertain times in our economy.

Leave people to their opinions and judgements. They cannot harm you; it is their understanding that is faulty, not yours.

Man is the only religious animal. In the Holy task of smoothing his brother's path to the happiness of heaven, he has turned the globe into a graveyard.

When you love someone, you want that person to know that she's is your everything.

As you care less about what people think of you, you will care more about what others think of themselves.
