Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.

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

Skating takes up 70 percent of my time, school about 25 percent. Having fun and talking to my friends, 5 percent. It's hard. I envy other kids a lot of things, but I get a guilt trip when I'm not training.

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

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

I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.

I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.

But I never really thought that I would be extraordinarily successful at skating, it's just something that happened, you know.
