I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals. ”

The Olympics: not one of my better memories. ”

Right now I am doing my residency in orthopedic research. ”

My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice. ”

Being an Olympian, I always have this strong belief in excellence. ”

But I like it when my patients are impressed not knowing that I was an Olympian. ”

For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor. ”

What was most important to me at the Olympics was going out there and performing my best. When I messed up the first jump combination, which was my big move, it hit me that I messed up the program of my life. ”

Probably the '86 nationals. That was my first real national title and first real statement I ever made in figure skating, and my life changed after I returned. ”

I want people to know when I'm taking care of them I'll give it all that I've got. ”
