Always wear a smile because you never know who is watching.

Everyone has their dreams. I don't write my dreams down; they just live inside of me.

Someone named Gold has never won gold, I'm told.

I pretty much knew that I was going to come in fourth, but then I said, 'I'm fourth at the Olympic Games. What are you talking about? Why is that disappointing?'

There are tons of great names who have gotten fourth at their first Olympics, and they just kept with it for the next quad. I'm among good company.

I've been competitive since day one. Even in little things as a child, like having a twin and a direct competitor for who makes better cookies.
