As I've gotten older and grown more independent, I think for myself, and that's how it should be.

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

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.

I actually prefer soothing music - and maybe that's the skater in me.

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.

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

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