I have a chaperone everywhere I go – my mom. – Shawn Johnson
It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you cant ask for much more. – Shawn Johnson
Im trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy. – Shawn Johnson
My parents- theyve been my biggest influences and supporters since day one. They teach me every day that happiness comes from within and not from something outside of your heart. – Shawn Johnson
For me, just being how old I am, I know I dont want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But Ive also come to terms with not being a mother at all. Im actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience. – Lisa Edelstein
