Almost nothing is presented to you on a silver platter. You have to really work for it.

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

I'm the sort of person who needs a big mountain in front of me to climb.

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

Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.

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

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