I am not interested in medals or titles. I dont need them. I need the love of the public and I fight for it.

And, in nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I wasn't really going to be a star, and overnight I became a star.

How many people in the world is, each of them is individual. And I like to eat bread, somebody don't like that. You know this is the same in gymnastics.

And in nineteen seventy two I almost wasn't, on the team, but I knew about it just before Olympic Games for three months before this why this is was not very good for me. I'd been ready to go, you know.

I've never wanted to be anything but a gymnast. Maybe it is dangerous-but when you start thinking about danger, you might as well give up.

If there has not been such a thing as gymnastics, I would have had to invent it because I feel at one with the sport.

Its better to have a rich soul than to be rich.
