I got a bronze medal and I can't complain about that, the only African-American to get a medal in the Winter Olympics.

My advice is that going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal are great goals, but the real goal should be to be the best that you can be.

My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.

Probably the '86 nationals. That was my first real national title and first real statement I ever made in figure skating, and my life changed after I returned.

I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.

I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.

The Olympics: not one of my better memories.
