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.

When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.

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

I feel like at the Olympics I gave the best performance of my life and I wasn't rewarded for that as an athlete. Yes, my fans and my mom were happy about it, but I didn't win that gold medal.

I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.

Don't bring a prop. It's almost like they were afraid nobody would know who they are.

I have a whole fur closet. I'm not afraid of PETA.
