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.

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.

I wanted to learn how to skate backwards and they wouldn't help me and they went off and left me on my own.

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.

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

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