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.

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.

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 am a competitive figure skater. I've been doing that for the same amount of time I've been doing acting. Ever since I was two.

Figure skating is not a hobby. It's my work, which I want to do, and do well.

Skating has always been a major area of interest to me.

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 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.

I love figure skating, so I do that as often as I can. Other than that I just go to the gym or swim. I love swimming.

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