It was never about winning medals or being famous.

People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.

But it seems that the judging maybe they shouldn't at least see the practices all week long. That can taint the way they go into the judging and the outlook of what's going to happen, instead of just watching those four minutes and judging on those minutes alone.

I do not have any pets. We travel too much.

I won my first medal when I was nine years old. It was at the Boston Open.

People are really sick of seeing the winner not win and what the public thinks should happen.

Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
