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

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

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.

If I'm on skates, I feel at home no matter what I'm doing. If they wanted me to sing and dance I think I could do it just becauseI was on skates. When I'm not on skates, though, I feel very strange.

I was just ice skating. I had no concept of that. In those days you couldn't see the judges. I was this little person on the ice and they were just people that would stand around the boards.
