Too many times women try to be competitive with each other. We should help support each other, rather than try to be better than each other.

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.

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

I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.

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

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.
