I had a one day slip, Matt. So what do you do? You get up and you go on, and you try not to do it again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've slipped enough times over the years to know the peril of a too-smooth sole, so every time I buy a new pair, I take a pair of scissors or a piece of sandpaper to the bottoms to roughen them up. In my catwalk days, I even used to spit on the soles of shoes before I ventured down the runway.
You just get up each day and put one foot in front of the other and go. You know, each day is different.
I love slippers, but I have five dogs. So unfortunately, I have a lot of single slippers.
Despite the usual idea of a figure skater, I have no rhythm when it comes to even walking off the ice. I fall off curbs all the time.
I always said to myself that if I thought I slipped and could not be the player that I want to be, then it was time for me to go.
With anything you do in life, there are days where you're worn out and you don't want to do it for a second.
You always say 'I'll quit when I start to slide', and then one morning you wake up and realize you've done slid.
People don't slip. Time catches up with them.
You never hold back. If I turn up to the track and feel cautious or not committed, I turn around and go home. If you don't have that full commitment when you're pedaling into a 40-foot jump, there's not much room for error, and you'll come off worse.
I do Skid Row every night.
