I Was Always Known As That Stocky, Muscular, Powerful, Short, Athlete. People Always Wondered If I Was On Steroids, And It Was Because I Wasn't That Long And Lean, Flexible, Artistic Gymnast. It Didn't Affect Me Too Much But It Got To The Point Where I Tried To Be That Long And Lean Gymnast, And It Just Wasn't Possible.
