My Mantra Has Always Been

Winning Does Not Always Mean Coming In First...real Victory Is In Arriving At The Finish Line With No Regrets Because You Know You've Gone All Out.

Did You Do Every Single Thing You Could Today, To Be Your Best?

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 You Watch A Tea Ceremony, Every Single Movement, Every Single Gesture Is Very Calculated. It's Very Precise, And It's All Protocol. It's All A Part Of The System. And It's Almost Like They've Sacrificed Every Single Thing To Make That Perfect. It's Like Their Craft.

I Want To Break Into The Acting Industry. It's Something I Have A Great Deal Of Respect For; It's A Passion Of Mine. It's So Amazing, The Differences Between Acting And Being An Athlete, But The One Commonality Is They Both Evoke Emotion In The Viewer. And Those Emotions Are Real. So I Think That's Pretty Cool.
