Skate Quotations

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.
Wayne Gretzky

So for me having that element of being able to be competitive wasn't a problem. I'm very competitive. I thought if I could skate first, acting would come second. I could say my lines and then go do what I was saying. You don't have to fake it, you're not really acting.
John Robinson

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