"Doing shows is always a side of skating that I've loved, it's the performing. I get to do that without the pressure, it's always fun between the skaters and the preparation, the show is always so much fun."
"There are only so many skaters like Brian Orser. Nobody is going to just step into his shoes."

"All those hours spent alone on the rink is where a skater's strength comes from. That's where a standing ovation starts and if you don't want to be there, it is going to show. Nothing you dreamed about is going to happen if you forget why you started in the first place. You have to skate with you heart. Before anyone can believe in you, you have to believe in yourself."
"Nothing dumb ever starts out stupid."
"Michael Weiss and Todd Eldredge and I all competed against each other. Even though Im older than them, we did cross over a little bit."
"Sometimes my skating allows me to do things I never dreamed possible."
"I love how my sport reaches out to people with the music and story lines, the glory of standing up for three or four minutes of tough, arduous, gravity-defying skating and all the stuff that goes with it."
