In an interview with Time Magazine, Chiles stated that she is looking to work hard and push herself in her career. She said:

"I'm in college now, and I have the ability to perform my life away at UCLA. People are always coming to me and just being like, 'You're always going to be loved.' So I'm now just able to take what I have, let everybody do the outside work, and just push myself forward."

"The diversity in our sport has obviously changed a lot. Knowing there weren't a lot of women of color when I was younger, and knowing that I can help that and I've been helping that is really cool," she added further.

During the interview, Jordan Chiles also shared her mixed feelings about the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and said that she is not sure whether she will compete there or not.
