I took some time off to enjoy my life, but figure skating is something I love and something I will continue doing for the rest of my life.

my mother will never leave me. We're together. She will always stay in my heart.

I wish I could say it's easy, but honestly, to get ready for a big championship is not as easy as it seems.

I don't care what the critics say or think because I care for and love my fans.

I like to listen to different kinds of music - it just depends on my mood. I love Madonna, Russian singers... I like the Rolling Stones a lot!

I wish I could compete again, but my good feeling is, these competitions are better as exhibitions.
