There are goals that I have, and then I dream of it, and then I make it a reality. If I could crawl out of my skin and see it, it would be really amazing.
— Simone Biles
I spend a lot of time in the gym training, and Core Power is a great fit for my nutritional needs.
Everything is possible at any one competition.
Stay healthy, have fun with it, and embrace all the moments. Because anything can happen.
I just keep surprising myself, I guess.
If you ever have a mistake, you try to just kind of forget about it because if you carry that with you for the rest of the routine, then the rest of your routine might not go as planned. So you just kind of shake it off, and you just continue your routine like you didn't fall.
It doesn't even matter if I don't win a self-gold - after every meet, I have pizza. Pepperoni pizza.
In the morning, I usually get up between 7:40 A.M. and 7:45 A.M., and then I'll brush my teeth, do my hair, and just throw on my leotard and my clothes and go to the kitchen.
I think I'm teaching my teammates that they can still be successful while having fun and enjoying the moment rather than being a stone cold brick.
I was built this way for a reason, so I'm going to use it.
My first experience with gymnastics was when I was in daycare. We took a field trip to a gym, and I was hooked.
I feel like it's harder because everyone knows I'm the three-time world champion - it's almost like people are waiting for something bad to happen.
As a kid growing up, I was never like, 'I want to go to the Olympics,' so having to pass on 2012 because I was too young didn't bother me at all.
It's amazing that I can inspire little kids to know that you can be short or tall, and your body type doesn't matter because you can do anything.
So far, my goals stops at making an Olympic team, and then if that happens, then I'll jot down more goals.
I'm always trying to push myself to the limit to see what I can do. It's my strong will that I've always had since I was a kid.
We go to church on Sunday and then have family dinner. My mom usually cooks, and most of the time, it's protein and something else. She will ask us kids what we want!
I'm not a celebrity. I'm just the same Simone. I just have two Olympic Gold medals now.
The support down here in Rio has been amazing - between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg's, I've felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.
One of my favourite things to do is compete for a crowd. It's just really fun for me.
The floor exercise is a way to express your personality.
We strive for greatness.
You don't have to be serious all the time to do a good job.
I have practice from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M., and then I drive home and eat lunch, which is either chicken or fish so I get the protein.
That's what I love about how diverse our team is - we have such different body types, yet together, we build the best team there is. I think we're stronger together than individually.
Most athletes get intimidated once they see how many fans are out there, but it almost calms me down in a way because I think of it as a fun way to show off what I've been working on.
At some point, I'll have to go get a real job.
My mom, Nellie, got me a rosary at church. I don't use it to pray before a competition. I'll just pray normally to myself, but I have it there in case.
If I disappoint someone, it's their loss for putting that expectation on me when they don't know me. I can't control what they want.
I didn't really ever dream of going to the Olympics until after 2012.
Growing up, it was kind of a struggle being small, since everyone would make fun of you - except for when it came to hide and seek: that's the only advantage I ever had!
A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I'm doing. It's not always winning. People, I think, mistake that it's just winning. Sometimes it could be, but for me, it's hitting the best sets I can, gaining confidence, and having a good time and having fun.
I would be like, 'Oh, my gosh, I wish I could go to prom.' But then I think, 'You know what? A lot of people can't say they've ever done what I do - they'll never have this opportunity.'
My parents make sure we have everything we need so that we compete to the best of our abilities.
For me to compete at the highest level, training and living a healthy lifestyle is an everyday focus for me, and I'm excited to be a part of the Everyday Awesome team!
I'm thrilled that I was able to share my first Olympic Games experience with my U.S. teammates.
As athletes, we're always going to have aches and pains, but when your teammates cheer you on, you don't think about it.
Most of our fans don't get to interact with us or know our personalities except through social media.
We've always had each other's backs in and out of competition. We support each other the most because we're the only ones that know what it's like to go through what we do, and so we can't be more thankful for each other. We're like sisters.
You can still be very good at what you do and have fun.
I make breakfast, which is usually Kellogg's Red Berries or egg whites, and then I go to the gym that's only 10 minutes away.
You can have fun and do well. Just let loose a bit.
I love competing.
Gymnastics is just one part of my life, and I'm having as much fun with it as possible.
I don't really think about the degree of difficulty or the possibility of making a mistake. I just try to relax and let my preparation and training take over.
I can only control what I do when I go compete.
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I've accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it.
I feel like I'm small and mighty and pack a powerful punch, just like Tide PODS.
If they said, 'Do five pull-ups,' I would always want to do 10.
Every year, I think of Worlds as the big meet, but now, it's the Olympics. I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to think about it and work for it.
