I think I dreamed about competing at the Olympics, maybe hoping to win a gold medal. Not that I ever thought that I would, but I dreamed about 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.

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

I think I dreamed about competing at the Olympics, maybe hoping to win a gold medal. Not that I ever thought that I would, but I dreamed about it.

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.
