It's always good to get the first one out of the way.

We came out a little sluggish. It's tough to play catch-up.

We didn't play very well, and when you play a team as good as Vestal ... you're not going to fare very well.

Without strength and courage it's really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you're alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself.

Half of figure skating is opinion, convincing judges.

What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating.
