My parents were of the opinion, because they had started skating very young, that you should have something that you do that you care about, because it structures your life as you're growing up.

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 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.

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

I skate now for fun and to keep myself in shape.

The most important thing about skating is that it teaches you to do the things you should do before you do the things you want to do.

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

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

My coaches have told me my muscles and body structure are perfect for skating.

I really like figure skating.
