My dad and I used to watch 'Ninja Warrior' all the time back when it was in Japan. I would always say, 'I could do that,' kind of joking, but obviously kind of serious.

Nastia Liukin, I was obsessed with her. And I say was, but really am obsessed with her. She's just so amazing.

I've never been afraid of much, and like any normal kid, I liked to push the limits of what I could do.

There's such a stereotype about men and women. Obviously, people think men are faster and stronger and all these other things, and I don't want people to get sucked into that anymore. I want them to realize that the women are out here and doing just as awesome things. They can be just as great, too.

It's nice to look good and have a great body, but you enjoy your life so much more if you are fit. That is the message I definitely want to get out.

My pump-up songs before I compete are not the usual. They're more girly songs. I love 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. It's about the journey and savoring every moment. I have 'The World's Greatest' by R. Kelly on my playlist, too.
