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.

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

Acting is easier than skating in ia way and harder in other aspects. In skating, you get one chance, and with acting you get to do it over and over.

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 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 highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

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