I learned not to depend on other people. I needed support, but it's you who has to go out and deliver.

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

Every man prefers to look at a well-shaped woman instead of a rubber ball.

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

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.

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