Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love.

I don't like watching myself on TV, I don't like reading about myself.

I'm always so excited about what I do that I try to get everyone to feel that way.

I am the luckiest girl in the world. I learned that if I just keep a positive mental attitude, that I can go out there and do whatever I hope I can do. It's all mental in getting out there, and having confidence in myself, and having strength and knowing I can do it.

For my parents to let me turn down the money that I have been offered to go pro, it's unbelievable. They want me to enjoy my senior year in high school. I am so excited to be a senior, finally. It doesn't get more fun than that.

I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried.

The goal is to keep having fun. Not let that pressure get to me and still be Missy.

I haven't even thought about a world record. I just want to go out there and have fun. I think when you focus too much on the numbers, you don't see anything that's out there.
