As a professional, I think we're not being judged solely on technical ability anymore. People really want to be entertained and enjoy what they're watching.

Every day, someone realizes a dream. I believe dreams help light our darkness and give us the push we need to move across the rink of life.

Dorothy Hamill was my big idol as a kid. She'd won the Olympics in 1976. She was America's sweetheart with her personality, her talent, her haircut.

The past couple years training with Kurt have really brought inspiration into my skating.

The good feeling I get from contributing rivals anything I felt on the Olympic stand in Albertville.

Before turning pro, I would never have just left my skates sitting in the locker room unattended.

Being an athlete, you know how to train and prepare your body for a performance and you're able to do it under pressure.
