And the fact that I liked to show off and be the center of attention really lends itself to figure skating very well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And so figure skating was a great vehicle for me to kind of be competitive at something, without having to be big.
But I never really thought that I would be extraordinarily successful at skating, it's just something that happened, you know.
To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.
I think for me it was a natural transition to move full time into acting rather than figure skating.
I love figure skating. It's what I'm good at.
When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
I think skating helped me find myself.
Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.
When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.
Figure skating has been a great influence for me. I took dance at the School of American Ballet, which helped my own skating. And whether you are a skater or a dancer, without sounding narcissistic, it is all about looking in the mirror.
