The rest of the world laughed at American gymnastics before I came.

I still love to find and develop the young athletes in traditional ways. I like to watch the physical and mental growth. That has always been very exciting.

My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.

This team just wasn't good enough today, but they had the unity I always wanted. To have an American team like this has always been a dream of mine.

You have to have competent people evaluating the athlete, not the housewives!

I know gymnastics. It's always been a subjective appreciation.

I am very familiar with Hungary, because I grew up in Romania, which borders it.
