One of the biggest misconceptions is that carbs are bad. It's a fad right now. Full disclosure: I'm sponsored by Barilla. But I've always been free about saying I love carbs, including pasta, in moderation.
When I was 3 my parents put me in gymnastics because I was a bundle of energy and they just didn't know what to do with me! They put me in a Tots class and I just fell in love with it.
That's what I love about running - I feel like we all celebrate each other. Even if you're racing somebody at the finish, it's like you're in it together.
There's a lady up in heaven who must be very proud of the way the people in Baltimore have treated her boy from the Bronx.
I have no ax to grind. I was lucky. I played. How many guys play high school, college football never play pro football?
I have a taekwondo background, but I also try to invent new moves and make sure that when I step into the Octagon, I'm a different fighter.
When I'm older, I want to have my own workout clothes line, like leggings and cute jackets in bright and fun colors.
Yes, I am the Olympic champion, but this is not the end of it. I want all the gold that there is out there, everything that exists in figure skating. In all events, in all competitions.
It's the Olympics. And it was a long way for me. To compete at the Olympic Games, I dreamed of any medal, but frankly speaking, I wanted a gold one.
And I want a gold medal more than anything. I just want a gold medal, so that's been pushing me forward.
As a gymnast, you always wear spandex. Being a teenager wearing spandex? It was tough accepting how my body looked, especially if there was any weight gain.
I like that my body is in shape and toned, and isn't too muscular. I feel I still have a woman's physique.
I live in California, so I do stand-up paddle board, which is a killer workout. I also run, about four miles every three days.
The fact that an icon would even utter my name or have any idea of who I am is absolutely unreal.
It just comes kind of naturally to me to take something and try and make it relatable and interesting to someone who doesn't know everything about skating.
I train six to seven hours every single day. I wake up six days a week and know that it's going to be the same thing.
For so long I wanted to win the gold medal. Then I won. I had to figure out what was the new motivation to take myself to that place again.
People have to realize that just because you're a Christian, it doesn't mean that you're perfect, because every once in a while everyone stumbles.
I am someone that is very competitive. When I'm on the field, I compete. When I'm practicing, when I'm in meetings. I'm a competitor in everything.
No matter what happens, you're always going to have those critics and those haters. You just have to learn how to deal with that. I think I have and accept that.
How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?
