I know that I am the kind of person that gets a little bit more nervous than other skaters, but that's because I care for my skating very much. I take all my emotions with me. I can't go out and say 'Now, this is just my job.' I really care.

My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It's an amazing feeling.

I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.

Skating isn't about the medals or the results. I love what I do. It's much more fun to win, but you cannot every time.

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

There's a lot of emotions that always come out after a skate of a lifetime. I always start crying because there is so much buildup to that competition.

I'm the type of skater that needs to stay upbeat and relaxed, open, because if I stay quiet, I get in my head, and then I start to think too much and start to doubt.

The mind is pretty powerful. In skating, you learn to click into that zone and focus not necessarily on what you're doing but if you're doing it well.

It just comes kind of naturally to me to take something and try and make it relatable and interesting to someone who doesn't know everything about skating.
