"I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom." — Shawn Johnson

I have a healthy lifestyle, but there's nothing you can really do to prevent from rolling an ankle or something like that.

I think about my goals. There were a lot of times in gymnastics when I really didn't want to go in and train, but you can't make it to the Olympics if you don't train!

I get less and less sleep these days, so when I have any down time all I want to do is sleep!

Every year I just kept going back to gymnastics, but I didn't start out training 10 hours a day. When I turned 10 or 11, I got more serious and I focused a lot on making it to the elite level, and from there I just kept going.
