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.

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.

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

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

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 got a call this morning, and it was from Nancy Kerrigan, wishing me luck. She wished me luck and sent me all her good wishes.

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