After a few games I knew I was going to be able to compete. The idea of being a star never crossed my mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.
I didn't care about being the 'star.' I just wanted to make a living and have a consistent career.
And, in nineteen seventy two Olympic Games I wasn't really going to be a star, and overnight I became a star.
I never wanted to be a star, I just wanted to get work.
I was pretty ambitious as a child to want to be a star with the talent I had, but I want to finish what I started and bring the fans along with me.
I don't know if I was a star. I was certainly working a lot and that was strange because there were good things about it and things that were difficult.
I guess I've always had a - not really thought of myself as this big star, big identity in the game.
I always wanted to be a big star.
I always wanted to be a star.
I like to be just an athlete, but if I go to competition and compete, I love to be a star, maybe.
