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

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.
