I was a bratty little sister. I was the youngest of three, and I often felt as though I didn't fit in.

I worked as hard as I could. I was always the first one on the ice, and the last one off.

I always had the sense that nothing was never good enough - striving for perfection. My mother and I had a sort of typical mother-daughter relationship.

I wouldn't say that there's ever been an Olympic champion that didn't deserve to win an Olympic Gold Medal.

There were no competitions on television. The first skating competition I ever remember seeing on television was the 1968 Olympics when Peggy Fleming won.

It's different today than it was then. In those days we were strictly amateurs. If I had wanted to stay in for the '80 Olympics, my parents couldn't have afforded it.
