A lot of times when you go through a very traumatic situation and it's emotionally difficult to deal with you come back spiritually stronger. It changes you in a way.

After you've done it for so many years, you have to find a new direction. You have to find something in your soul that's going to push you towards - to find your inspiration.

Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it's been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate.

It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to create something worthwhile.

I would have to agree, that I'm probably more intense than Brian or Kurt, competitive because, I was always like this, always being that way, always real competitive.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

The past is history, the future is a mystery. But today is a gift...that's why they call it the present. So cherish every minute of it.

And then, looking back at my first Olympics, and when the pressure was on, in '94 and '98, and looking back and going, wow. I sensed and felt what Brian had gone through.

Listen to the inner voice that allows you to be you!

Always looked up to Brian and his skating, I loved his skating and what he had done for the sport. And the triple axel, that was the thing, and I wanted a triple axel.

You always learn from your mistakes.

I feel as if I could be any thing or every thing, as if I could rant and storm, or sigh, or cut capers in any tragedy or comedy in the English language.

When a self-evident truth is presented, don't be surprised when self-centeredness fights back...

We are going to stop radical Islamic terrorism in America. Hillary Clinton won't even mention the words, and neither will President Obama. So I just want to tell you, she wants open borders.

I saw at a young age that one bad break can turn a family's financial life upside down. And it has affected everything in my life since then.

It was hopeless. She was flawless. She was a sunbeam. Mosca gave up and got on with hating her.

First there is the search and rescue phase that is now ending. It is a cruel reality.

What you can't pay back you pay forward.

Modern education too often covers the fingers with rings, and at the same time cuts the sinews at the wrist.

Sometimes I wish I were just magically a size 6 and I never had to give it a single thought.
