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.

I will always be looking back at the things I've gone through, thinking of the struggling people I've seen.

I'm not a great one for looking back.

Looking back, I'm so proud to have gone to five Olympics - I believe only three other Americans have achieved that.

A lot of times when you go through a very traumatic situation and it's emotionally difficult to deal with you come back spiritually stronger. It changes you in a way.

Just a whole different style, just a whole different way of going about an audience and a way about skating. And they are so brilliant in their own way, which is great, and that's what Brian was saying; is the styles are different, and it's the whole mentality.
