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

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.

The Olympics in '80 was phenomenal. It was my favorite memory of all competitive events, because it was brand new and it was exciting.

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

A bad attitude is the only true handicap.

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

The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.
