I have never been the stereotypical figure skater.

It's an image that the media has given me as a bad girl, and the only reason they gave me that image is just because of the few things that have gone wrong in my life, and also because I grew up living in a trailer.

I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.

I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did.

I want to be a skater.

I never had a father figure so I never missed it.
