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

I started skating when I was six years old.

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

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.

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