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

And the fact that I liked to show off and be the center of attention really lends itself to figure skating very well.

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

If I give up my career as a skater simply because I fear I won't show my best performance, I would be really sorry later in life.

When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.

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

As soon as I was introduced to ice speed skating, I was instantly hooked. I never thought about pursuing skating professionally; I just enjoyed doing it.

I didn't get into skating to be famous.

Skating is one of those sports you unfortunately see people get stuck in.

I think skating helped me find myself.
