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.

It's hard work to make a four-minute program look effortless and elegant.

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.

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

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.

When youre young, you dont think very far ahead. You just think in terms of the next day, the next week, the next competition. You dont think about injuries that could threaten your long-term health.
