The Olympics: not one of my better memories.

My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.

I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.

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

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

My advice is that going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal are great goals, but the real goal should be to be the best that you can be.

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