I graduated a the top of my class in the '84 Olympic Games; I won a gold medal.
Fame is a very confusing thing, because you are recognized by a lot of people that you've never seen before, and they're at a great advantage.

Everything that I've ever been able to accomplish in skating and in life has come out of adversity and perseverance.
