The feeling of losing oneself in somebody's arms, yet at the same time finding oneself there, is irreplaceable. Nothing compares to the intensity of that feeling.

I want to see sunrises in the mountains. You never get to see such things enough in a lifetime. I want to see more.

I was an athlete. And I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty. I was good, too.

When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.

I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.
