Figure skaters have awful perceptions of hockey players.

I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there, and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate

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

One of my mottos not only just in skating but in life in general and I try to enforce it as well, is like no regrets and just like going for it.

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

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.

The skaters a lot of times do their own hair and makeup before they compete. That was always kind of a ritual...that calming, quiet time where you can just do your hair and makeup. And then I would always lace up my right skate before my left one.
