I started skating when I was six years old.

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.

Appreciation is a great virtue, and if husbands and wives expressed it more frequently in our homes, wives would be happier, and husbands would probably be more kind" (Gospel Ideals, p. 475).

When I was sent to public school, I was relieved that I could wear what I wanted to wear.

Jails and prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.

I don't buy stocks, I make stocks.

I still give myself the right to be highly critical of others, though.

Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification.

They aren't making mirrors like they use to.
