Success depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice, how much you are willing to alter your everyday life for a particular goal.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
