Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.

I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.

The act of paying attention contains tremendous power.

I googled 'Gabby Douglas,' and all these things popped up like 'Gabby Douglas makes history!' And 'She's the champion!'

My worst date would be with someone nervous who has nothing to say. I like people who inspire me.
