Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.

I hope that I can maintain my skating as long as possible.

I learned not to depend on other people. I needed support, but it's you who has to go out and deliver.

I don't want to compete. I want to skate for the joy. I get so nervous in competition. I get always sick. I had pressures enough in my life from skating.
