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.

You can accomplish anything with pure persistence and drive.

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

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

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

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

If you trust your nerve as well as your skill, you're capable of a lot more than you can imagine.
