You see the fairy tale - four minutes of glory at the Olympics. I thought my life would be cake after that.

I hated to read. My mother could not get me to read. I’m going through the same thing with my daughter now. I love to read now, but I don’t remember reading.

My parents didn't have a lot of money, but we never knew that. They really did the best they could.

My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons, and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.

In group lesson number six I think we learned how to turn backwards and then just kind of wiggle. That wasn't really skating backward, but I guess I was going in the right direction.

If you are a complete perfectionist, then the truth is that this ice skating business will drive you a little crazy!

Every time you go out on the ice, there are slight flaws. You can always think of something you should have done better. These are the things you must work on.
