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

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.

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

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

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

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