For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.

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.

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

I begged my mom to let me start skating.

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

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

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