“I love hard work. If I'm not sweating, then I'm not working.”
“I always thought the list needed to be longer. We needed to have a stronger representation of Jewish athletes, and I'm so happy to that I'm part of them now.”
“I want that three quad program! That's what's going to set me apart in the U.S.”
“Every time I watch a performance, I'm disgusted with how I've skated. It's very hurtful for me.”
“If it's a day to indulge, I like to have a burrito or a steak.”
“I grew up looking to all those Jewish athletes for inspiration.”
“I feel connected to God when I'm out there performing.”
“I hope that my work ethic has been a model for those who do not believe in themselves or have lingering doubts about their own abilities.”

“When I decided to continue in the sport, I decided I would do whatever it takes to be the best figure skater I can be.”
“Nothing makes you try harder than to be told that you are not good enough or that you simply do not have the skills.”
“Maybe at the end of my figure skating career, I'll be able to have just the one game I always dreamed of having. I've still got the skill, I think. I'd have to work on my stick-handling skills, but the speed and my hockey smarts are still there.”
“Before I broke my back, I was really looking forward to playing hockey at the University of Michigan. That was my biggest goal.”
“Anyone who's been the Olympic trials before is a veteran.”
“In hockey, sometimes a shift can go for a minute and a half, full out.”
