Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

Half of figure skating is opinion, convincing judges.

Figure skating is not a hobby. It's my work, which I want to do, and do well.

When I was younger, I always dreamed of being a legend, to be remembered in figure skating.

To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.

Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.
