It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.
Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.
I can't even imagine what it's like and right now I'm like in shock, I can't believe that I'm Olympic Champion.
The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.
I had that feeling of just pure joy and I went out there and put it in my program.
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.
