As soon as I was introduced to ice speed skating, I was instantly hooked. I never thought about pursuing skating professionally; I just enjoyed doing it.

I actually have an ice-skating background. I skated until I was 15, for about eight years. It was hardcore skating for about eight hours a day.

As a kid in British Columbia, going back a long way, I learned to skate.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

I competitively ice skate, and I also dance, and I do a lot of theater, which also involves a lot, a lot of physicality, because you have to do a lot of fast changes.

I started ice-skating when I was about 12 or 13 and I was selected in the Australian team for ice hockey. I met my wife at St Moritz Ice Skating about 1955.

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

I love to roller skate.

I just skated for the fun of it.
