I don't remember the first time I skated on ice, I was too young. I do remember falling in love with that wind-in-my-face feeling while speed skating.

My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it.

I love short track. I competed in short track, I was a world champion in 1986 but at that point in time it wasn't in the Olympic Games so I moved into long track. Short track is a blast to skate and it's a blast to watch.

I never could have achieved the success that I have without setting physical activity and health goals.

There's sort of a theory that's going around in the China-watching community about a perfect storm coming up with the 2008 Olympics, a U.S. election and a Taiwanese election, some sort of mutually reinforcing explosion and crisis.

The distance between a person's dream and their accomplishments can only be measured by their desire.

I will remember all the days at the Olympics.
