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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Hatred becomes, within a given time, the hatred of society, then the hatred of the human race, then the hatred of creation.

I have nothing against younger women and older men on screen. What is sad is that so many women over 40 who have so much to give aren't being considered to play opposite men their own age or younger.

I loved living in Hollywood - and the weather there was just fantastic - but there is something about rural England, and especially Suffolk and Norfolk, that pulls at my heartstrings.

I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

I had a lot of excess skin - I just needed to have it firmed

It would be a lovely place if we didn't necessarily judge or jump to conclusions because someone wants to wear a dress or because someone wants to wear pants.

If you're looking for someone who can beat the RAW divas, perhaps you should choose someone who's beaten every diva on RAW.

Master your strengths. Outsource your weaknesses.

A celebrity is any well-known TV or movie star who looks like he spends more than two hours working on his hair.

'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.
