Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for.

I'm really very glad that I had skating to be my love and my escape. I think that it always gave me something that made me feel good, and it was music, and it was peaceful, and not a lot of the other stresses of life.

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

When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.

I think skating helped me find myself.

I started skating because I loved it. I started when I was three and I didn't know all the sacrifices and all the hardships and how difficult day-in and day-out it would be.

Everything that I've ever been able to accomplish in skating and in life has come out of adversity and perseverance.

My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

And I love what I do and I love skating.
