That's what makes the Ryder Cup in golf so much better than the Masters or the U.S. Open. To be a part of something that is not about personal achievement, but about representing everyone and sharing it with the whole country, it's wonderful.

When you turn professional, you become an entertainer, and like every other entertainer, you don't want to get a bad review.

I don't want to look back-I want to keep looking ahead. I'd hate for my defining moment to be my past.

I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.
