Everybody wants their space. She spent almost 40 per cent of her time going in and out of people.

She was a teensy bit not quite into her space. She usually is.

There was a period of time after the Salt Lake Olympics when I told him there had to be a new coach and new location. Words were exchanged. Deep conversation was exchanged. I told him we were in a coffin and about to be buried into the ground. I should say a happy ending would be the world title. On his good day he's a world champion, no problem. Who knows if we'll get to that day? He has to want it. It can't be me wanting it more than him. I don't know if we'll get to that day.

I've tended to hang in there with the guy because he doesn't have a big support system and I think support systems are very big in life.

If he asked me I would give him an opinion.
