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.

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

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

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

Right now I am doing my residency in orthopedic research.

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

I begged my mom to let me start skating.
