“Teens should always remember they are unique, special, and bring something to the world that no one else can.”

“Over the years, God and St. Therese have kept me going no matter how bad things were.”

“I don't know if it's because I've done it forever that it feels strange not to, but I really do believe that if you try to eat healthy, and you work out, it starts your day off good.”

“The skating world is a very small world.”

“Obviously, the competition at an Olympics, the emotions are running high, and the stakes are higher for these athletes, so it does bring an incredible, palpable excitement and emotion into the building.”

“It used to be that I wanted to be taller. Once I made 5-foot-1, I was happy.”

“Most athletes won't push a sport forward unless they have the incentive to do so - let alone when the structures of a sport have been set up to actually incentivize them to hold back.”

“It's very easy for me to watch a performance and just speak on it as I see it.”

“One day I woke up, and I felt like I knew I wanted to be an analyst and a broadcaster.”

“I stopped amateur skating competitively when I was 15.”

“We need to remind people how fun skating is, how quirky skating is. If we went on TV and overlooked the cold, hard truths and the quirkiness, I don't think that's bringing anything to the fans.”
