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.

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

The desire to really compete again has been there for a long time.

I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.

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.

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

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.
