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

When I look at the kids training today... I can tell which ones are going to do well. It's not necessarily the ones who have the most natural talent or who fall the least. Sometimes it's the kids who fall the most, and keep pulling themselves up and trying again.

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

Don't focus on the negative things that can happen, just think about the positive things.

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

What I love the most is getting on the ice and just popping in a fabulous CD and skating - all by myself, the rink completely empty, just me and the music.

Sometimes my body is aching, but I always think, 'Why am I in this? Why do I love it so much?' That's what makes me persevere, that's what makes me keep on going.
