I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.

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.

One of the keys to achieving understanding is humility.

EDUCATION IS VITAL TO DISCERN BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING

Adam & Eve. The serpent cracked the mirror in a thousand pieces, & the apple was his rock.

The whole world is run on bluff.

Engage with the Bible. Meditate on it day and night. Think and rethink about God's Word. Let it be your guide. Make it your go-to book for questions. Let it be the ultimate authority in your life.

I always carry prayer cards to St. Jude and St. Martha with me.

There's a fine line between participation and mockery.

My focus is definitely on the racing.

The largest enemy of change isn't 'no', it's 'not yet' - that is the easiest way to forestall change.

Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.
