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.

There are two or three performances in your life that are absolutely on, where all the planets are lined up for you and you feel you're invincible.

Once you have a child, your heart is forever outside your body. I totally understand that now.

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.

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

Skating was something I really wanted to do; my parents knew nothing about it. They said they'd support me as long as I was trying my hardest and enjoying it.

I didn't want to skate for someone else or for certain marks.
