Figure skating was a pretty individual sport. I've grown up a lot since those days and enjoy being part of a team now. Being a doctor is about working with nurses, therapists, anesthesiologists, and I've learned more about team play being a doctor than when I was in sports.

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.

You can accomplish anything with pure persistence and drive.

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 begged my mom to let me start skating.

I am not really sure how I got interested in medicine.
