Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.

Acting is easier than skating in a way and harder in other aspects. In skating, you get one chance, and with acting you get to do it over and over.

It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.

I can't even imagine what it's like and right now I'm like in shock, I can't believe that I'm Olympic Champion.

The highlight of my career? The Olympics, of course.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.
