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 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.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose.

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

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

I started skating when I was six years old.

But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!
