"Who am I to tell you how to cope when you’re dealing with the pain or you’re dealing with a struggle that you haven’t experienced before or that you thought you never would have to deal with?"

"I’m not done. You know what I’m capable of. Count me out if you want to."

"It’s just irritating because you take away the abilities, you take away the speed, you take away the talent … and we’re still human"

"Don’t judge me because I am human. I’m you, I just happen to run a little faster."

"I’ve seen the world be my friend. I’ve seen the world turn on me. But at the end of the day, I’ve always been with me."

"It’s always been my time, but now it’s my time to actually do it for myself and the people that feel like me, the people that look like me, and the people that know the truth about themselves as well. I represent those people."

"I’m here to say, ‘I’m not back, I’m better ..."

"I’m next to living legends. It feels remarkable."

"My journey has been a journey!"

"How I show myself forgiveness is honestly by acknowledging it first, acknowledging the situation for what it is, acknowledging my responsibilities in it, and talking about it to the people I feel like it impacted besides myself"

"Be more understanding of the fact they [athletes] are still humans."

"I just want the world to know that I’m THAT girl"
