I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other people's desire for me to do well.

I'm my own person. You can't generalise about people.

Although it's hard some days to wake up an hour earlier to do the gym workout as opposed to other skaters who just show up to the rink, I know that if I don't do it, my day will be much worse. I might as well not even skate, actually.

I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well.

I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.

Well, I've maybe gotten 200 requests for interviews about Marilyn, and I just decided I'm gonna do my own.
