I just try to touch people's hearts in a way through skating, so they're not just witnessing a performance, they're feeling a performance and they're a part of it.

I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.

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

The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.

Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is priceless.
