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

The reality of professional skateboarding contests is that they're not relevant in our world.

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.

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

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

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.

Skating has given me so much that it's priceless.

Skating everywhere is unpredictable, no amount of money or facilities is going to create a skating star. You have to have a skater who is dedicated, passionate, and willing to learn.

I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other people's desire for me to do well.
