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

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.

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.

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

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

I always thought after 2002 that I'd hang up my skates and turn professional and just go on tour and do shows. But I don't know when it is enough. I mean, I still enjoy it. I'm the luckiest girl alive that I get to perform in front of thousands of people, do what I love doing.

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