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

Just because you didn't start out perfect doesn't mean you can't have an excellent result in the end.

I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.

I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals.

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 would make my mom buy me the toy doctor kit.

What was most important to me at the Olympics was going out there and performing my best. When I messed up the first jump combination, which was my big move, it hit me that I messed up the program of my life.
