I do not have any pets. We travel too much.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose.

My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.

It was never about winning medals or being famous.

There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.

I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!

People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.

I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.

It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.

My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.

There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.

Love is the most beautiful sacrifice.

At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.

Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breath and their water is safe to drink.

An adaptation leads the cinema-goer to the original to find out what they're missing and if they already know the book, it can still illuminate a theme, a character, an idea.

The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed, we should be fully born when we die.

Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity.

I want to make it clear,if there is ever a conflict [between environmental quality and economic growth], I will go for beauty, clean air, water, and landscape.

I like my privacy. I love being a part of [films], but when I'm not doing stuff, I like to go away. I enjoy being a person, a great deal.

Many of the things which can never be, often are.
