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.

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

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.

What makes you really come together under pressure is determination and focus and toughness.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

I want people to know when I'm taking care of them I'll give it all that I've got.

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