We strive for greatness.

I have dual citizenship.

We all have skills, I guess.

I love a good Netflix binge!

I am like any typical teenager.

I take things one step at a time.

I just keep surprising myself, I guess.

You can't get too caught up in yourself.

I don't necessarily have favorite brands.

Father served in the Air Force for 22 years.

At some point, I'll have to go get a real job.

People comment on my pictures, 'Stay healthy.'

I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps.

I can only control what I do when I go compete.

You can have fun and do well. Just let loose a bit.

If I won gold in 2016, I think it would change my life.

You can still be very good at what you do and have fun.

The floor exercise is a way to express your personality.

I was built this way for a reason, so I'm going to use it.

Everything I do is in the gym so I'm always in gym clothes.

You don't have to be serious all the time to do a good job.

I have everything I need, so there are no blanks left unfilled.

If they said, 'Do five pull-ups,' I would always want to do 10.

At the end of the day, if I can say I had fun, it was a good day.

I think we have other things to worry about than some Zika virus.

I didn't really ever dream of going to the Olympics until after 2012.

[People saying to me] "You look taller on TV." I get that all the time.

If I thought of gymnastics as a job, it would put too much stress on me.

I think for me, the most fun competition that I've had was my first Worlds.

I never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.

For me, I don't think about size - I focus more on being powerful and confident.

I feel like I'm small and mighty and pack a powerful punch, just like Tide PODS.

Thank you guys for believing in my ability and supporting me in my Olympic journey.

I never felt I had questions or needed answers or had a part of me that was missing.

One of my favourite things to do is compete for a crowd. It's just really fun for me.

It feels amazing to inspire little kids to want to do gymnastics and have fun with it.

I'm not a celebrity. I'm just the same Simone. I just have two Olympic Gold medals now.

Gymnastics is just one part of my life, and I'm having as much fun with it as possible.

The sport is called artistic gymnastics. So you do have to be a little bit of an actress.

Stay healthy, have fun with it, and embrace all the moments. Because anything can happen.

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

I'm thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.

My parents make sure we have everything we need so that we compete to the best of our abilities.

When we had free time in the Olympic Village, we got massages and rested while watching Netflix.

I know [people] think I'm taller because it's so close and I look stretched out, but I'm just 4-8.

I spend a lot of time in the gym training, and Core Power is a great fit for my nutritional needs.

I would hope I would inspire kids everywhere to know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

It doesn't even matter if I don't win a self-gold - after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.

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

Most of our fans don't get to interact with us or know our personalities except through social media.
