I think I was born to be a figure skater, I think it was fate, and I thank God for letting it happen.

It doesn't matter what kind of result will be in the end. I already win for myself.

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 just adore jumping. I do the rest as it is supposed to be done.

I can skate beautifully. While performing on ice I always try to please the audience and to win as well. Being artistic is very important to get the audience on your side. As for a competition, you can't win without strong technical content.

I try not to think about marks, the first place or gold medal. The most important thing is to show what you are capable of on ice. The rest will come on its own.

My main competitor is myself.
