Acting is easier than skating in a way and harder in other aspects. In skating, you get one chance, and with acting you get to do it over and over.
Tara Lipinski

Acting is like roller skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.
George Sanders

All I know is that skating is getting better, the guys are getting better throughout the whole age range.
Elvis Stojko

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it.
Vera Wang

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.
Elvis Stojko

And I love what I do and I love skating.
Nancy Kerrigan

And so figure skating was a great vehicle for me to kind of be competitive at something, without having to be big.
Scott Hamilton

And still I'm not completely happy with my skating. I always feel I can do more and climb higher.
Oksana Baiul

And the fact that I liked to show off and be the center of attention really lends itself to figure skating very well.
Scott Hamilton

But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!
Nancy Kerrigan

But I never really thought that I would be extraordinarily successful at skating, it's just something that happened, you know.
Scott Hamilton

Doing shows is always a side of skating that I've loved, it's the performing. I get to do that without the pressure, it's always fun between the skaters and the preparation, the show is always so much fun.
Kurt Browning

Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.
Nancy Kerrigan

Everything that I've ever been able to accomplish in skating and in life has come out of adversity and perseverance.
Scott Hamilton

Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.
Katarina Witt

Figure skating is an unlikely Olympic event but its good television. It's sort of a combination of gymnastics and ballet. A little sexy too which doesn't hurt.
Andy Rooney

Giving life to music through skating was something I wanted to be known for.
Peggy Fleming

Growing up as an athlete, I started skating very young. My parents didn't know anything about the sport, so they went with the flow. I had two great coaches who gave great advice and gave guidelines for my parents. My parents let the coaches dictate what was going on on the ice.
Kristi Yamaguchi

Half of figure skating is opinion, convincing judges.
Scott Hamilton

Hurricane Katrina exposed the harsh reality that we have been skating on thin ice when it comes to this country's energy concentrations on the Gulf Coast.
