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

I believe in playing with your heart, with every fiber in your body-fairly, squarely, by the rules-to win. And I believe that any man's finest moment, the greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out and lies exhausted on the floor of battle-victorious.

In gymnastics, smaller will always be better in many ways. The stress in the head, that will be the same for all. But the stress on the body and the concussions it must endure, that will always be easier for the little ones.

When I open many books, or most leading women's magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don't find myself at all. I am completely anonymous. My value system is not there.

I consider myself very lucky that I could live my life through all the ups and downs.

The crowd sometimes plays a tremendous role to give you wings and carry you to victory.

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