To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.

Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.

Figure skating is not a hobby. It's my work, which I want to do, and do well.

I really like figure skating.

I love figure skating and what I am able to express creatively. I want to leave a legacy in the sport.

I love figure skating. It's what I'm good at.

Figure skating is a bit dated - it's like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time, and I'm going to try to Chanel it up a little bit.

When I was young, many people didn't know what figure skating was. Some who knew of it thought of it as dancing on ice. But, as I entered international competitions and got good results, many people got to know more about it and came to cheer for me.

I know that, in hockey, the object of the game is simple in that you have to get the puck into the net. With figure skating, it's not as simple, and there is a ton of work that goes into it.

Skating has always been a major area of interest to me.
