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.

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.

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.

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

My experience at the 1992 Winter Olympics was my fulfillment of dreaming the Impossible Dream.

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.

In terms of my career, having the gold definitely changed my life. The Olympics are different, you know? They're every four years and it's such a small group.
