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

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 hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.

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

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

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

The feeling of losing oneself in somebody's arms, yet at the same time finding oneself there, is irreplaceable. Nothing compares to the intensity of that feeling.
