I was, without exaggeration, a delinquent teenager.

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.

With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. Especially in an endurance sport.

I've learned what it truly means to be Canadian and in turn I've been inspired to make a difference in the world, however small it's been.

I am nowhere near my limit. I just want to see if there are such things as limits. I want to go and find out.

I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment.

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything.
