Without strength and courage it's really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you're alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself.
I just try to touch people's hearts in a way through skating, so they're not just witnessing a performance, they're feeling a performance and they're a part of it.
I was nine-years-old when I first put on skates.
I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.
The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.
Rationality is not one of this industry's attributes.
