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

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.

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 don't want to prove to anyone or prove to myself. I'd rather just enjoy and show myself that I am capable of doing it and actually going through the process.

Humans are...extraordinary. It's a shame that we often forget that, and that we treat each other as anything less than the masterpieces we are.

So, my sweetheart back home writes to me and wants to know what this gal in Bombay's got that she hasn't got. So I just write back to her and says, Nothin', honey. Only she's got it here.

A guy walks up to me and asks, "What's Punk?". So I kick over a garbage can and say. "That's punk!". So he kicks over the garbage can and says, "That's Punk?", and I say, "No that's trendy!

I don't believe in divorce. I believe in widowhood.

Before you leave, the fortune teller reminds you that the future is never set in stone.

If one could make alive again for other people some cobwebbed skein of old dead intrigues and breathe breath and character into dead names and stiff portraits. That is history to me!

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Life can be thought of as water kept at the right temperature in the right atmosphere in the right light for a long enough period of time.

When your life changes and you become a more public person, in some ways you need to be a more closed person, you know?

I'm trying to make the perfect dance, that's what drives me.
