I'd like to consider myself a versatile skater and I like to skate to different kinds of music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for.
I have great artistry, I can spin well, I have good footwork, and I can jump. I can do the quad jump, and I've done it multiple times in competition. It's definitely a jump that I have in my arsenal. I like to think of myself as the complete skater.
Music is fun, but I'm an ice skater. I may sing songs and do shows, make movies and other things... that's all well and good and I enjoy it, and I would never trade any of those for anything. But figure skating is who I am.
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.
Skating has always been a major area of interest to me.
I can do the tricks and I can skate. I have great skating skills and artistry and well-choreographed programs. For me, the biggest obstacle is just bringing it all together.
I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other people's desire for me to do well.
I actually prefer soothing music - and maybe that's the skater in me.
I would just love to be able to give back to figure skating.
I'm a speed skater. That's who I am, in my heart.
