“It was so hard to survive - moving so much, not having many friends. But I loved my skating.”

“I have never been the stereotypical figure skater.”

“The media had me convicted of doing something wrong before I had even done anything at all, before I had talked to anyone, before I get out of bed. I'm always the bad person.”

“People have talked about it off and on, and there have been people who have stood up for me and have said, 'Hey, we know her, and she is a good person.'”

“One thing I like about boxing is that I will not have to deal with the same kind of politics that I had to in skating. In boxing, it is not about your appearance, or how your costume looks, what color it is, or how much it costs.”
