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.

When I feel like I'm in a rut, I remember it's the little things in life that are important, like riding a bike with a friend or eating ice cream with my baby niece.

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

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

When I look back at the world championships, I know there's a lot of room for improvement, I'm always up for a challenge. The Olympics, they don't define me, I've had some good and some bad. But it's all about the Olympic experience.

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

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