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

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.

It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.

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

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

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