Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.

I never really like to skate in an empty ice rink; I always need the attention of an audience.

I can't say, 'It doesn't matter if you win or lose.' It's not true. You go in to win.

Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.

The desire to really compete again has been there for a long time.

As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember.

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