My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.

And I love what I do and I love skating.

Part of being a champ is acting like a champ. You have to learn how to win and not run away when you lose.

It was never about winning medals or being famous.

There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.

I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!

People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.

I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.

It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.

My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.

It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.

To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan.

Though folly, robed in purple, shines, Though vice exhausts Peruvian mines, Yet shall they tremble and turn pale When satire wields her mighty flail.

Never have a dog. Let's not beat around the bush here: dogs are morons.

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how many people remember you when you die.

All of us with one voice call one God differently as Parmatma, Ishwara, Shiva, Vishnu, Rama, Allah, Khuda, Dada-Hormuzda, Jehova, God and an infinite variety of names.

Exceptions are not always the proof of the old rule; they can also be the harbinger of a new one.

Karma is an energy debt which you owe or an energy credit which is owed you. Both involve compound interest that is added to the equation making it either a burden or a blessing.

He that has a penny in his purse, is worth a penny: Have and you shall be esteemed.

We all see the world differently. And thank God for that. Otherwise, what a boring world this would be.

Were parties here divided merely by a greediness for office,...to take a part with either would be unworthy of a reasonable or moral man.
