Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for

When the going got tough, I really had to draw on many of the same competitive instincts I did when I was skating. I really had to put my head down and stay positive. I had to fight.

We Wanted to be Achievers, But Being an Achievers didn't Mean That You Stopped Being a Woman.

When I was on the ice, in the lights, with the music and the motion, there was a certain kind of flirtation that gave great energy and expressiveness to my performance.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.
