Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
I've taken challenges with the big risk that it can all go wrong. But that's what I like and I'd rather do that than be safe all the time.

I don't like to sound egotistical, but every time I stepped up to the plate with a bat in my hands, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the pitcher.
The Knicks left me open a lot of times the last time we played them, and I was just making sure I took the shots that were there.
It might have been easier to retire, to say my knee couldn't handle it and let that be that. At the same time, the prospect of not being able to compete in gymnastics anymore was heartbreaking.
