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!

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.

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.

It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.

It doesn’t matter how physically fit or tough you are, if you fail to use natures computer between your ears.

What has happened in the past is gone

Love is the net profit on life.

The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity – it’s envy.

Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.

Some of us worship in churches, some in synagogues, some on golf courses...

There is nothing that you cannot be, do, or have.

Honesty is the precondition for genuine scientific and scholarly work.

I always wanted to go into acting.

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
