I know there's life after the Olympics.
Am I worried? Sure, I'm worried. When it comes to the Olympics, it can't be a predictable finish.
People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.
I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.
It's not the Olympics. It's Concord, New Hampshire, and a homecoming should reflect the community I'm part of.
I've been to three Olympics and I don't feel I've ever quite achieved my best at any of them.
I'd love to compete in the Summer Olympics.
In some bigger cities, I don't think people really realize these structures were built for the Olympics.
The Olympics are what I work for. They're why I spend so much time in the gym.
I have a great relationship with Special Olympics back in Baltimore and have had one for many years.
For me, by far, the Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world.
Some people are saying that the reason Michael Phelps isn't doing so well is because he let himself get too out of shape. I just have to say that I have been watching the Olympics, and if that guy is out of shape, I have been dead for five years.

There's no day when I don't think it would be great to be 25 years old and have the Olympics coming in less than 300 days - and be the best in the world. I can't think of anything so motivating.
I'm not sure what's going on in Britain. I don't know what's going on in London. Because London is no longer an English city, and that's how they got the Olympics. I mean, they said, "We're the most cosmopolitan city on Earth," but it doesn't feel English.
The Olympics unite the world and inspire us to be a better version of ourselves. The competitions motivate the spectators, and the athletes' message is: You should have more confidence in your ability to achieve things, you should dream more.
