Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.

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.

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.

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

Now, I am thrilled to be a wife and mother, and I hope to be as good of a mother as my own mother, Carole.

I never wanted to feel I hadn't worked hard enough.

As a teenager especially, I just wanted to do my thing and not be noticed.
