And so figure skating was a great vehicle for me to kind of be competitive at something, without having to be big.

Each movement is only learned after you've perfected the one before it.

Most other competitions are individual achievements, but the Olympic Games is something that belongs to everybody.

Male figure skating is different than female figure skating; we're not America's sweetheart.
