People expect that I'll be just perfect on ice, and that's not the case. I make mistakes, too. When I review my performance, sometimes I feel I did awful. That's the whole part of the process of what people see when I'm performing.

When you're on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick.

When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.

It's almost like you see too much, because when it happens for real, everything flies at you so fast, you never get a sense of the ice and where everyone is at that one moment.

For me, the greatest obstacles are never on the ice itself. That's the area I excel in. That's where my passion is. I think we all strive to push ourselves, to overcome our struggles. And when we do, we get to know ourselves better.

I'm most comfortable definitely when I'm on the ice. I love to play. It's something that I just love to do.

I have a way of just being ice and just cooling situations and making things work.

It's just skating, and you're going to have a couple of mistakes. Even in practice, you're not hitting 100%.

My weaknesses are my jumps. The reason is that although I land them in practice, when I actually compete or perform, I should let my body go and stabilize my mind better. Also, I need to work on not letting negative thoughts and emotions get to me on the ice.

The thinner the ice, the more anxious is everyone to see whether it will bear.
