I love weekends. Just like everyone else, I get to rest on weekends and go out with friends. I hate Mondays.

Where there is peace, there is sports; where there is sports, there is peace. Peace is what allows us, especially young people, to dream, go after ones goals and prepare you for the next challenge in life.

I have learned from the first Olympics, of course. When I went to my first Olympic Games, I experienced all of the pressure and was able to win the gold medal. I try not to feel the pressure, and I try not to be nervous when I am on the ice and when I compete.

The people who should be here aren’t. The ones who should be smiling with me aren’t here.

The magic never worked! The only thing we’re left with is regret.

Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.

What I want to avoid is staying at the same place. As I improve in skills, musical interpretations, and acting, I am able to approach each element of my programs with perfection. As Im preparing, I build momentum and confidence until I reach a peak of concentration. It is the moment that I feel my best. Then I can bring out one hundred percent, which makes me satisfied with myself. This is my goal.
