I'm able to support my wife and family off of gymnastics. But at the same time I do take it very seriously - it is a job for me.

It's not about winning or losing a competition, it's about beating the doubt from within yourself and knowing at the end of each day you are one step closer to your goals.

A line I like to use is, "Every day is training. Every day of life is a pursuit of perfection."

Part of being a good gymnast is being very disciplined - you have to know how to train right, eat right, sleep right.

I'm very disciplined in many aspects of my life, and I think a lot of that has to do with how I was raised and the sport I've been in my whole life.

I eat very clean foods, healthy foods and drink a lot of water.

There is a period of tapering when we're not in the gym quite as long to try to save our bodies, but leading up to the competition we try to keep things similar to the rest of the year.

I'm on my own, luckily doing well, but like I said, we don't make a ridiculous amount of money and I have to be disciplined with what I do with it.

It's tough. Gymnastics isn't basketball or football or baseball, where you can get these huge contracts and make a lot of money.

When I was 22, I finally reached that huge goal. Now I'm going for another one. It's so satisfying. It's something that I worked for for so long, and just to know that I got it feels so great.

Gymnastics is definitely my job, but the great thing about that is I love my job.

Be Gods and make Gods.

When we repay unkindness with unkindness, we perpetuate the cycle of negativity within which our world is embroiled. We have the right and responsibility to choose differently.

As far as we could tell, the face of the revolution was a sea of embroidering women, patiently waiting the resignation of their repressive governor.

Freddie Green has been my right arm for thirty years. And if he leaves the band one day, I'll probably leave with him.

What seems real one moment is fiction the next and gone out of existence the moment after that. Nostalgia is the greatest enemy of truth, and change our only constancy.

It should be up to each bar owner and patron to decide if they want to smoke or not.

I’m a Republican who embraces science and understands we have to work with the next generation of Millennials to have the innovation and technology so that we can grow a 21st century economy.

I think it's been the topic of conversation for every one... If the U.S. is hit again, how are we going to handle it? Our troops are all over the place.

Let no one pay me honor with tears, nor celebrate my funeral rites with weeping.

He's a good sportsman but his best at world trash talking.
