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.

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.

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.

I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!

In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary?

When I'm making a movie, I don't like to know what's going to happen next. I like to watch something and be surprised all the time, and just not know, and let it take me wherever.

Pity it is we drowse too soon Pity it is we fall asleep Ere our song encompass the height Ere our hand inherit the deep

Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.

In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

The poorest of men are the most useful to those seeking power.

That's what Walt Disney did, and Hewlett and Packard, and the people who built Intel. They created a company to last, not just to make money. That's what I want Apple to be.

Life is too short to be small.
