In gymnastics, everything is a competition. You want to have your hair look the best and your makeup look the best. You want to be the best, and you want to have the prettiest leotard.

You have to stay true to yourself and where youre coming from, and sometimes people see you in a different light, but you have to take it in and try to be positive about anything.

If you're following your dreams, you're doing something you love and that you believe in yourself for.

Looking back isn't going to help you! Moving forward is the thing to do

And when a beest is deed, he hath no peyne; But man after his deeth moot wepe and pleyne.

Quit thy childhood, my friend, and wake up!

No soldier can fight unless he is properly fed on beef and beer.

Violence represents the worst kind of conformism.

After two takes you're imitating yourself.

Ah me, how weak a thing The heart of woman is!
