Gabby Douglas

My mom used to tell me when I was little, 'When it rains, it's God's manifestation - a big day's waiting to happen.'

You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much.

Me and my dad are kind of distant since my mom and him separated.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

One of the first things I learned about acting was, the only person you compete against is yourself.
