134 Quotes by Nadia Comaneci

I was a perfectionist in gymnastics.

I think gymnastics was associated with the 10. I thought that belonged to the sport, and somehow we gave it way.

I was turning actually 15 at the Olympics in '76... I don't think that one year makes a huge difference.

I always say, 'When the Olympics are happening, you shouldn't be in any other place in the planet - you should be here.'

I never thought I would be standing here, married to an All-American guy, living in Oklahoma. What a country.

Every generation comes with a unique athlete, I don't think anybody wants to be the next Nadia; they want to be themselves.

I tell people, 'Have you ever been to Oklahoma? There are a lot of nice people there that do wonderful things.'

Other kids had more talent, but I was the most focused.

I used to tell people if they looked at a map, it was right in the middle of the United States. But now everybody knows Oklahoma because of the Thunder and their success. I don't know if I'll get 'Why?' anymore.
