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.

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

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

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

I don't really remember a time younger than 5 years old that I didn't have skates on because all I can remember is every day, tying up my skates and a big smile on my face, excited to go on the ice.

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.

I needed to turn off the negative voice in my head - I was psyching myself out.
