Nothing is going to change. I’m going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well stop talking about it.
Gabby Douglas
The one snack I really love is YoCrunch yogurt. It's like an apple pie in a cup! You have your apples on the bottom, your yogurt in the middle, and piecrust crumbs on top.

The other girls [in team] have experience. They've been competing on a lot of international world-class stages. They knew what to expect and what to do and what not to do. Me and Aly [Raisman] just gave them advice on the media side. We said, it's gonna be crazy. It's the Olympics. But it's gonna be fun!
Gabby Douglas
I kind of do think of myself as a superhero and just flying high, and doing these crazy flips.
Gabby Douglas
Always be courageous and strong, & don't fear. You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.

I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair? I'm like 'I just made history and people are focused on my hair?' It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about my hair. Nothing is going to change. I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it.
Gabby Douglas
Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!

I was supporting Aly [Raisman]. I will always will support them and respect them. I don't want anyone to take it as jealous or I wanted attention.
Gabby Douglas
Believe, don’t fear, believe.

I don't like to try strange foods. I like to explore different foods, but if you ask me to eat crocodile or frogs... I'm like no. That's where I draw the line.
Gabby Douglas
I was just, you know, kind of getting racist jokes, kind of being isolated from the group. So it was definitely hard. I would come home at night and just cry my eyes out.
Gabby Douglas
It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.
Gabby Douglas
I have no regrets coming back for a second Olympic team [in 2016]. It's been an amazing experience. It's been teaching me a lot.
Gabby Douglas
I'm a very good bowler, which I discovered a few months ago.
Gabby Douglas
Hard days are the best because that's when champions are made.
Gabby Douglas
I just want to inspire all those people who gave up and said 'I quit,' Never give up!
Gabby Douglas
You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.
Gabby Douglas
Gymnastics does take great focus and concentration. What I do is look to my coach. He keeps me focused. And I meditate to get myself confident before the competition floor. That helps keep me focused, too.
Gabby Douglas
Words can't even describe how much Olympic medals means to me, because of all the hard work, sacrifice and effort I put in at the gym, and also because of how much my family supported me and sacrificed their dreams for mine. It also means a lot to me, knowing that I became the first African American to win the individual all-around gold medal.
Gabby Douglas
I love how everybody just brings a different personality to the mix and everyone's different in their own way. There's a lot of energy - that's the vibe of Team USA.
