My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.

I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.

My parents never pressured me to skate. They always said I could quit if I wanted to. They only expected me to skate when they had already paid for the expensive lessons. But, otherwise they said I could do what I wanted to do.

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

Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.

It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.

It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
