It is great to be a part of the whole skating family, and it makes me feel ecstatic that my name will be among the greats of the sport.

I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.

Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence.

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

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

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.
