Nobody's a better critic of myself than me, and I try to do the best I can.

If you come to my house for a dinner party, it looks like a Toyota dealership, because every single person I know drives a hybrid now.

I'm not someone who funds buildings. That doesn't interest me. I'm more interested in programs.

One of my main jobs is to cultivate advocates and activists.

Breaking up is hard to do. It's torture.

For a guy who spends endless hours on a golf course, it's best not to have a wife waiting for you at home.

The show Larry is much more aggressive. The real Larry is very gentle and very sweet and doesn't like to offend people.

The health claims on packaging are there because they sell products.

Paul Cummins is a genius. He's a true visionary.

I had to stop following certain friends because I was constantly seeing them tweet about all the parties that I wasn't invited to! The worst is the Twitpic - people take pictures of themselves at these fun dinners, and you're not there.

The topic of global warming is so heavy that sometimes the only way you can open people's eyes is by greeting them with levity and self-deprecation first.

They are very different in terms of the solution. Where 'An Inconvenient Truth,' you really need countries to cooperate and sacrifice and figure out a solution, with 'Fed Up' you can leave the theater and you can be empowered that very night by cooking dinner in your very own kitchen.

There was no social media really when 'Inconvenient Truth' came out. I wish we had Twitter and the power of that to help get the word out.

We're all environmentalists. People feel like, 'Well, if I drive an SUV, I guess I can't be someone who works on global warming issues,' and you can. You can! If you drive an SUV, you're still an environmentalist.

I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing happening with more and more CEOs stepping up, saying, 'I have to fight carbon emissions.'

I could spend my life focusing on getting rid of straws in our society.

When I was a little kid - and I don't know why - I was obsessed with littering. I'd yell at people in their cars if I saw someone throw paper or a cup out of their window.

It's one thing to have ice cream once in a while with your family, and quite another to eat foods on a regular basis that you don't even know are full of sugar.

We are all victims of the marketing that says cooking is hard and takes too long, but that's simply not true. Scrambled eggs take five minutes to make.

Dealing with politicians, that's a little different. But government doesn't change until people demand it.

Everyone has a right to speak out.

Scientists speak a certain language. Now there are regular extreme weather reports on the news. Hurricane Katrina was a huge connect-the-dot moment for a lot of people.

If you care about the health of the planet, you have to care about the health of its people, and if you really go deeper, it starts with the community of your family.

It takes so much courage to get out of a marriage.

You can love someone and not be able to live together.

If you can't buy a hybrid car, your first question should be, 'What is the fuel economy of this car?'

When you go to pick your kids up from school, cars are lined up idling for anywhere from five to 20 minutes. Starting a 'no idling' rule in your school carpool lane could have a huge impact.

I got to talk about global warming on the No. 1 soap opera in the country.

Celebrities who lend their names to causes to raise lot of money for important issues should be admired and not marginalized and made fun of.

I have taken advantage of my husband, to the extent that I even got HBO to do a documentary with me.

Exercise is essential for good health. But we can't exercise our way out of the obesity epidemic.

You don't necessarily know you're consuming sugar when you're using store-bought salad dressing, or store-bought tomato sauce, or healthy granola bars. It's added to all these foods.

I want to make sure I always show off my smile and have a positive attitude the whole time, whether it's during a performance, practice, or doing an interview.

Sometimes you just don't know what to say.

I think it's amazing that I can go out there and be myself, and the fact that I'm carrying Puerto Rico on my back a little bit is such an honor.

No matter what race or color you are, you can aspire to do something great.

I think people are people. If you want something, go get it. I don't think it matters what race you are.

I feel that, every day, God molds me into someone that He wants me to be. So if that means just, like, talking to teammates and helping them out, or, like, every so often I'll post a Bible verse on Twitter or Instagram.

My parents have tried not to intrude. They kind of stayed apart from my gymnastics but are very supportive, and that's very helpful as a gymnast to not have your parents say, 'Did you do this today?' and just be very on top of you.

I am second-generation American, and my grandparents are from Puerto Rico.

People have seen me at my best, but I don't think most of them know everything that it took to get me to where I am today.

When I'm not training, I'm typically doing anything self-care, so, like, bath bombs and face masks, or, like, having a movie night with my family, if that's possible.

When I was a little kid, I looked up to other people, so I hope that I can inspire little kids.

I feel I could be a role model to other Hispanic gymnasts interested in the sport, but I also want them to understand the importance of being focused, determined, and not giving up, despite all the struggles.

Homeschooling is great because it's extremely lenient, and so if there's a day I come home from practice and mentally, I'm just exhausted, I can actually just save the test for the next day if I really have to.

I don't see it as pressure at all. I see it as such an honor to just in some sort of way represent Puerto Rico and Hispanics and all the girls out there.

My whole life revolved around gymnastics because I loved it so much. I home-schooled because of it; I changed my eating habits.

Growing up, there wasn't an exact Hispanic role model that I had. I didn't realize how big a difference I was making, going to the Olympics and being Hispanic, until I would be in an autograph session, and parents would come up to me and say, 'You know, our family is so proud of you, you're really doing Hispanics proud.'

I got a piece of a dead person's ligament in my body.

If you think too far ahead, then it'll just stress you out.
