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

I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.

I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I'm not on the ice.

I want kids to enjoy skating and I think it's a great workout.

Skating was the vessel into which I could pour my heart and soul.

Although it's hard some days to wake up an hour earlier to do the gym workout as opposed to other skaters who just show up to the rink, I know that if I don't do it, my day will be much worse. I might as well not even skate, actually.

I love skating so much and I feel like every time I step out onto the ice, that's what I'm meant to do.

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

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