I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.
I was more interested in skating and the girls and traveling than I was in calculus.
I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.
Without strength and courage it's really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you're alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself.
