Up to nineteen seventy six when I quit gymnastics I was very, disappointed because I didn't have anything which is, live with. I didn't have a friend so I didn't have a coach anymore. ↗

When I go in to compete, whether it's gymnastics or anything else, I do my own thing. I compete with myself. ↗

In gymnastics, you have to be perfect every step along the way. ↗

In gymnastics, the longest routine you do is a minute and a half, and that's pretty tough to get through. ↗

Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that. ↗

Gymnastics uses every single part of your body, every little tiny muscle that you never even knew. ↗

When I first turned elite in gymnastics, when I was 14, that's when I really became more inspired than ever. I just always kept that in the back of my mind, and always thought about making the 2012 team. ↗

I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles. ↗
