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

I know this is maybe naive, but one day I hope there will be peace in the world. Maybe one day the flowers will come back.

When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.

When you reach a certain level, you live in a bubble when all you think, dream and breathe is becoming the best athlete in the world.

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.

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

It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.
