“These crowns symbolize something greater than just a Miss California state crown. They carry a meaning of love, strength and unity for all.”

“It's hard to put your heart into things when you feel you're being pulled in so many different directions and people are taking advantage of you.”

“As long as you're comfortable with who you are and you know that you're beautiful inside and out, you're going to be happy.”

“Have you not learned that strength comes to an ordinary soul when given an extraordinary calling?”

“Christian, learn from Christ how you ought to love Christ. Learn a love that is tender, wise, strong; love with tenderness, not passion, wisdom, not foolishness, and strength, lest you become weary and turn away from the love of the Lord.”

“The hardest for me is rings because it is a lot more strength-oriented, while all the other events are about fluidity and flexibility. It's the one event that doesn't coincide with the fluidity, which is my strength.”
