I believe that you should gravitate to people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives.

I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

We are not coaching on a daily basis because we often travel with our charity and commercial interests.

I worked hard in gymnastics since the time I was six years old until I retired at 23 years of age.

As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.

for some people life outside the spotlight is death.

My marriage to my husband, Bart Conner in 1996 is my proudest personal moment.

You should also appreciate the goodness around you, and surround yourself with positive people.

The only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

When you fall, leap to your feet and try again.

Jump off the beam, flip off the bars follows your dreams, and reach for the stars

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.

I am not qualified to talk about the diet. Simply because I am not a dietician.

Life is true to form, records are meant to be broken

The pool is terrible, but that doesn't have much to do with my record swims. That's all mental attitude.

I went through a lifestyle change when I dropped 40 pounds. Taking care of my diet was the first thing I did.

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.

My biggest loss was the Olympics. I just can't forget losing. I never will

I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win.
