I didn't get into skating to be famous.

It's not a sport you get famous at. If I wanted to be famous, I would have stuck with hockey.

When I was skating you had to participate in every thing.

I would recommend anybody who gets a chance to see short track skating, make it a point to go out there when Apolo is skating because you won't see anybody better.

You got to get lucky because it lasts for a week and a lot of things can happen in a week.

I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.
