The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

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.

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

As long as I leave my frustration behind, I know I am moving toward my goal again.

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.

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.

I would say facing the obstacles surrounding the day-to-day pressures of an elite athlete at a very young age was not the easiest task. Learning to deal with the nerves and feeling the pressure of representing my country, all while wanting to achieve my own dreams, was a big obstacle to plow through.
