My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

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.

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.

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

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.

All is fine with the world...

Parenting is the most important responsibility most of us will ever face, and none of us does it perfectly.

The music industry is dominated by guys. I work with men 98 percent of the time - producers, arrangers, musicians, engineers.

Religion is the love of life in the consciousness of impotence.

If you have a dream don't let anyone talk you out of it.

We all had a desire and appreciation for such a wide range of music.

Revival is not just an emotional touch; it's a complete takeover!

I believe in choosing the hardest book imaginable. I believe in reading up on what others have to say about this difficult book, and then making up my own mind.

Elderly people, I have found, when they're being honest, are also scumbags, and enjoy a little prurient humour as well.

Love people for the sake of God, but never love God for the sake of people.
