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

I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm kind of a homebody. My husband says I like to just stay home and do nothing, but that's just how I am.
