I have always thought that being a good American is appreciating the world, not just your own country.

I am often criticized for spending too much time off the ice, but if you were in my shoes, you'd see how necessary it is.

In spite of all the skills that I do have, to relate to the normal world I have no applicable skills. I can speak Russian, I can speak French. I know about Chanel. Especially vintage Chanel. I know what Halston is. All of these things, but they can't really be applied to a nine-to-five.

We are each an army of one. March forward with your army, never let go of your future and never listen to idiots who tell you ‘no.’

I’m good when I’m alone. I’m comfortable when I’m alone. I can sit and do lots of things all by myself. Sex included.

I’ve held onto Ugg boots. I will never graduate to Crocs, but Ugg boots are always and forever. That’s my fashion stepchild.

I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It's an amazing feeling.
