All I know is that skating is getting better, the guys are getting better throughout the whole age range

A lot of times when you go through a very traumatic situation and it's emotionally difficult to deal with you come back spiritually stronger. It changes you in a way.

I trained and trained and went up against Kurt, then being a world champion in '94, and after that I did Tommy's tour and then my tour and all this stuff and just trying to deal with it all. And now, I've just kind of backed off a little.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

Just a whole different style, just a whole different way of going about an audience and a way about skating. And they are so brilliant in their own way, which is great, and that's what Brian was saying; is the styles are different, and it's the whole mentality.

I won't be skating for the rest of my life, that's for sure

It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to create something worthwhile.
