As an athlete, I know that I'm such a perfectionist that I'll want to go out and keep working on something over and over until it's perfect. Part of growing up is learning to take a step back.

Growing up, I really didn't have a lot of role models.

I think that in figure skating, and in sports in general, that when you're young, it's considered a huge advantage because you're fearless, and you also don't have bad past experiences. But with age comes experience, and I have found that my experience is a huge advantage to me as a competitor.

I came out seven times in one weekend. I have a flair for the dramatic.

I know that life is much more than football. We have family and it's all about being happy and healthy.

I've seen tennis clubs close in Manhattan and garages put up in their place, and I'd sure like to be part of reversing that trend.

I went to school to Washburn to play basketball, and I always believed if basketball didn't work out I could fall back on golf.

I'm a runner from sports. I've been a runner, but I wasn't a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
