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

Yes, I am the Olympic champion, but this is not the end of it. I want all the gold that there is out there, everything that exists in figure skating. In all events, in all competitions.

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

Half of figure skating is opinion, convincing judges.

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

I think you learn how to fall well when you're figure skating. Your reflexes are very acute.
