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

Sometimes, success almost haunts you. You want to be the best at everything you do and know you have to work hard.

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

It's hard work to make a four-minute program look effortless and elegant.

When youre young, you dont think very far ahead. You just think in terms of the next day, the next week, the next competition. You dont think about injuries that could threaten your long-term health.

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