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

Skating has given me so much that it's priceless.

I skated like it's a sport, went for everthing and just gave it my best shot. It turned out freat. I had nothing to lose. You might be the best in your heart, but not in other people's sight.

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.

Literally falling on the ice and having to pick yourself up in front of thousands of people is not an easy thing to do. The thing that you learn is to pick yourself back up, to learn from your mistakes.

I don't know secret to success, but I'm pretty sure the closest thing is preparation

I want to see how far I can train. I have to see how far my body will go.
