So for me having that element of being able to be competitive wasn't a problem. I'm very competitive. I thought if I could skate first, acting would come second. I could say my lines and then go do what I was saying. You don't have to fake it, you're not really acting.

Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.

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.

Coming from dance, I feel acting is - I'm not going to say easy, because it's not. But the dance world is more hard-core.

I think for me it was a natural transition to move full time into acting rather than figure skating.

Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.

Acting is a sport, like a game of tennis, and you and your opponent take turns setting the level of play.

When it comes to acting, you really have to create movement which in some ways is dancing. And dancing, I feel is very important to act as well. I wouldn't put one over the other.

Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.

Acting is like a game of tennis. The better your opponent, the better you're going to play.
