The past is history, the future is a mystery. But today is a gift...that's why they call it the present. So cherish every minute of it.

After you've done it for so many years, you have to find a new direction. You have to find something in your soul that's going to push you towards - to find your inspiration.

Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it's been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate.

It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to create something worthwhile.

I would have to agree, that I'm probably more intense than Brian or Kurt, competitive because, I was always like this, always being that way, always real competitive.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

And then, looking back at my first Olympics, and when the pressure was on, in '94 and '98, and looking back and going, wow. I sensed and felt what Brian had gone through.

Listen to the inner voice that allows you to be you!

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.

In the theater you create a moment, but in that moment, there is a touch, a twinkle of eternity. And not just eternity, but community. . . . That connection is a sense of life for me.

We came from many roots, and we have many branches.

A bard whom there were none to praise, And very few to read.

I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.

To experience some healing within yourself, and to contribute healing to the world, you are summoned to wade through the muck from time to time.

I always feel like a goofy little kid.

A lot of getting a song done is booking the studio time. I'm the kind of person who will set time aside to do something and then do everything but that thing.

I have a very strong opinion. I'm absolutely against it. I'm against the challenge system. I'm for the way it is right now. Don't change that.

I preferred measuring deer tracks to tape - that I liked the wild liberty of the Red men better then the tyranny of my brothers.
