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

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

[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.

My dad’s contentment is all that matters to me. When he’s laughing, I’m laughing. When he’s happy, I’m happy. I would give up my soul for him. To me, nothing else but his happiness matters.

I'm fat, but I'm thin inside... there's a thin man inside every fat man.

Learn to slow down and perceive the mysterious events and opportunities that happen in life... if we look closely we see they... bring us just the right information at just the right time.

By jove, no wonder women don't love war nor understand it, nor can operate in it as a rule; it takes a man to suffer what other men have invented . . .

My father was a promoter of Fresh Fest, and they needed an opening act. He got me a slot as a dancer. We tried it out the first time in Atlanta and the crowd went crazy. I was the opening clown.

The refusal to be committed and the attitude of indifference can in fact never be neutral.

If you wait for inspiration, you're not a writer, but a waiter.

Lord, to whom should we go? Thy words are the words of eternal life.

I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.
