I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.
From Debi Thomas
I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.
Just because you didn't start out perfect doesn't mean you can't have an excellent result in the end.
The Olympics: not one of my better memories.
Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.
What was most important to me at the Olympics was going out there and performing my best. When I messed up the first jump combination, which was my big move, it hit me that I messed up the program of my life.
My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.
I got a bronze medal and I can't complain about that, the only African-American to get a medal in the Winter Olympics.
My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.
