I worked also, doing things such as our paper route and, later on, waitressing.

One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters.

I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose. Everyone has bad stretches and real successes. Either way, you have to be careful not to lose your confidence or get to confident.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.

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