I think my own thinking is harsher than my mom's discipline.

My dad usually never has time for my skating, which is OK because they have to make a living somehow. For them to put their business on hold and come all the way to Korea to watch me skate - especially my dad - he feels responsible not just for my mom and for himself, but there are a lot of people who work there, too.

I think I would be bored if I were winning all the time, even though it would be nice.

I would like to be on 'Dancing With the Stars' because I want to be a star.

My dad is a very creative type of person, so he has rolls that make no sense to most people familiar with sushi. He has a High Five roll. What is that? Don't ask questions. Just try it. He's kind of mischievous, and that's how I am, too.

I think being in the public eye has made me more determined than other people to show that I do belong at the top, and I believe I am one of the hardest-working people at the rink. I feel like I have always been that way, but sometimes I just get in my own way.

I can snap my toes. Everyone keeps asking me this, but I know it's kind of weird, but I think it's fun that I can snap my toes.

I have always believed that I am an amazing skater regardless of what the results say, and I think that determination and confidence has kept me in the game so long.

Figure skaters are usually young and then just fade away. But I'm not a fade-away kind of person.

When I'm at home, I'm a real big cuddler, so I sleep with my dog in my arms.

When I was in middle school, I remember thinking, like, Tara Lipinski was 14: I only got a few more years to go before I'm really old.

I'm really good at window shopping, or I'll go into a store and just choose one thing.

I tell my boyfriend that... we should get a ranch so we can just adopt all the dogs that need homes, and they can just run around all day.

It's easy to look into the future and worry about the past.

I wanted to make America proud.

Never lose your undying belief in yourself and your abilities.

I always soak in a bath with Epsom salts for a minimum of 20 minutes to absorb the magnesium once I get home.

Before I ever got into coaching, I got my law degree at Pepperdine.

My dad always watched wrestling and I seldom did.

Oh I've never liked candy corn, I think it's just awful - I think candy corn's awful.

I think the days before cell phones, when it was dirt clod wars at construction sites, was a lot more wholesome and productive, to be perfectly honest.

You know, I'll tell who's really embraced football is Austria. Austria's really embraced football.

Outside of North America, best football? Is Samoa North America? Probably Samoa. I'd say Samoa. Germany's certainly up there.

Atlanta might have snow and Macon might have good weather, and they're not really far apart. But there's a period of time in the year where the gnats get all over your face and they bite you. And the Macon crowd, it's funny, but they can sit there like nothing's happening and there can be gnats just biting the hell out of your face.
