Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.

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

I'd like to consider myself a versatile skater and I like to skate to different kinds of music.

No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.

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.

One shouldn't be afraid to lose; this is sport. One day you win; another day you lose. Of course, everyone wants to be the best. This is normal. This is what sport is about. This is why I love it.

I want kids to enjoy skating and I think it's a great workout.
