First, I have to thank God for giving me the gift that he did as well as a second chance for a better life.

I have a lot of different stages in my life when training has been easy or hard. Now, it seems that I have been training for so long that it has become almost second nature to me.

I wish I could compete again, but my good feeling is, these competitions are better as exhibitions.

I'd like to consider myself a versatile skater and I like to skate to different kinds of music.

My weaknesses are my jumps. The reason is that although I land them in practice, when I actually compete or perform, I should let my body go and stabilize my mind better. Also, I need to work on not letting negative thoughts and emotions get to me on the ice.

No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.

Now, I don't make decisions as fast as I used to.

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami, because of the people, the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.

Pairs skating and singles are two different things. Although some skaters have achieved this successfully, it is a very difficult transition. You're looking at double work.
