Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

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

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.

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

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

When you reach a certain level, you live in a bubble when all you think, dream and breathe is becoming the best athlete in the world.

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.
