I wanted to learn how to skate backwards and they wouldn't help me and they went off and left me on my own.

I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other people's desire for me to do well.

I don't need a good skate to make everything OK.

I didn't get into skating to be famous.

Skating has given me so much that it's priceless.

I won't be skating for the rest of my life, that's for sure.

I just skated for the fun of it.

I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.

I was a natural skater, but I also took private lessons to enhance my skills.

I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.
