It's everything for me. Without figure skating, I am nothing.
If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know. Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing.
I think I was born to be a figure skater, I think it was fate, and I thank God for letting it happen.
My main competitor is myself.
This one doesn't exist. The prettiest girl and the best car don't exist as well.
I'm a wealthy man now. I've got a flat, a car, I have enough money to buy food. I skate to make the people happy. If somebody skates to earn money, I don't care. I skate for the people. Besides, it's pleasant to supply Russia with gold medals.
