If you have nothing in life but a good friend, you're rich.

There's a lot of emotions that always come out after a skate of a lifetime. I always start crying because there is so much buildup to that competition.

It's incredible. Nine? Wow. I just remember winning my first one, getting the medal and the plate, the pin with the diamond for first place. My ninth title, I have no answer for that because I never thought it would be possible.

I had dreamed of being at the Olympics since I was 7 years old.

Work hard, be yourself, and have fun!

The one who wins all the time is great and powerful, but the one who had been trampled on and fallen is who I admire the most

Winning is not about how many medals you get-it's about accomplishing goals and just being the best you can be!
