It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.

Career-wise, I was not the most naturally talented ice skater. Of course I had a knack for it , but practice was always the answer for me. I needed to put in the time to get back the confidence that led me to Olympic gold.

I love working out and when I'm home. I love the feeling of walking out of a class. That's just an addictive feeling for me.

I try to eat pretty healthy, but I do love carbs. So, I'm not the person who could stick to a perfectly healthy diet. I love chocolate too so I always have dark chocolate Hershey's kisses in my purse ready for me to have throughout the day. Dark chocolate is my weakness!

I am very competitive, so when I fail I use what I learned from that mishap to fuel success.

I love to work out. I need to work out! Nothing makes me feel better than walking out of a spin or barre class knowing my body and mind got some attention.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.
