“When I'm home, my friends are all coming home from work, their lives are a little more concrete.”

“One of the benefits of training in America is that we can go out and there isn't that hype.”

“On a short program, you've got to be tight and you've got to make sure that you get all your points.”

“We don't have to fake the feeling of looking into each other's eyes and feeling something. That's a joy. It's been a joy our whole career.”

“We really focus when we compete, not about the placement so much, just about us having our moment.”

“In my opinion, sport teaches valuable lessons in extremely rewarding circumstances.”

“Golf has taught me a lot about patience and keeping my temper.”

“I would never even think about skating with somebody else. The whole reason I wanted to come back to skating was to be close to Tessa again, and to share those moments.”

“As a coach, I am committed to not only developing well-rounded athletes but also good human beings.”

“We'd love to have a perfect scoresheet at the Olympic Games, but at the same time we always find we skate well when we think about our feeling and our performance, and just being connected to each other.”

“It's funny to look back - Tessa was seven and I was nine. I remember there wasn't a lot of talking at the beginning. We were terrified to hold hands for quite a while.”

“Obviously, Fred Astaire was a legend. I've tried to copy some of his movements.”

“We're always telling stories, we're supposed to be reacting, a man and woman on the ice, it's romantic.”

“Obviously, the skaters in generations before us didn't have the opportunity to win multiple medals at an Olympic Games. We recognize that.”

“My first love was hockey, but it seemed the more I skated and danced with Tessa, the more I fell in love with the sport.”

“It's an interesting partnership that we have, friendship, whatever you want to call it. We don't even know what to call it. But we know that it's special and we're celebrating that.”

“Ice dance was a part of my life from a young age. My older brother ice danced and like many younger brothers, I wanted to follow in my older brother's footsteps.”

“We love to compete, and I feel like national champion is a title I want to get every year, so to see it going to another team is going to hurt.”

“Tessa and I, what we'd like to be - it's so hard to evaluate ourselves - when we're training, focusing on things, it's about a man and a woman, what we create between each other, working off each other.”

“We want to go out and bring the house down. Anything short of that, we get disappointed.”
