For Me, The '60s In

I Never Had One Day That I Didn't Want To Be On The Ice, Because I Always Had An Objective For That Day. I Had A Rigorous Plan And Schedule In Place That I Had To Adhere To. It Was A Step-by-step Process Of Slowly But Surely Inching Toward The Olympic Games And Using Every Day As A Series Of Goals To Be Accomplished.

When I'm Done Skating, I Guarantee You That I Will Not Look Back And Remember Standing On The Podium. I'm Going To Remember These Days - Being With The Team. Training Alone, In My Basement. Training When Everybody Else Is Sleeping. Doing Things That Nobody Else Is Doing. Digging Down. Seeing What Kind Of Character I Truly Have. I Love That Stuff.

My Girlfriend Has Been The Ice.

When You Reach That Competing Point, When You Reach That Time When The Gun Is About To Go Off, Everyone's Level Is Pretty Much The Same. The One Thing That's Going To Separate You From Everybody Else Is How You Deal With Those Pressures, How You Stay Relaxed.

It's Important To Be Driven And Have Goals. You Want An Independent Woman Who Knows What She Wants And Isn't Afraid To Go After It. It's Attractive To Me When A Woman Is Doing What She Loves. It Makes Me Want To Know More.
