When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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