So as an amateur Olympic competitor I loved criticism, because it made me better. But now as a professional I don't really know how to channel it or where to take it, so I don't take it quite as well.

Refined indifference is a sports psychology precept: train like there's no tomorrow and then accept whatever happens. Once you step on the field realize that whatever is meant to be is meant to be.

A bad attitude is the only true handicap.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

I started skating and I kind of liked it because I could run circles around the guys that wouldn't pick me to play baseball.

I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.

I had a ninth grade teacher who told me I was much smarter and much better than I was allowing myself to be.
