My mantra has always been to have zero regrets in life. Everything I do at one speed, I go all-out.

My life has always been compartmentalized into different aspects. I have my speed skating Olympic pursuits, I have my personal life and have my business life and have my entertainment - TV - Hollywood - whatever have you - always compartmentalizing every aspect of my life.

In school I studied international business and marketing, so I've always been attracted to business.

My life has always been with my dad. Since I can remember, I was raised by my father my entire life. So he's kind of been that mom and father figure - always.

Generally, speed skaters don't run that much. I'm a little bit of an exception in that I run a lot.

I got too far forward with my skates. I lost a lot of speed and almost went down.
