Patrick Chan

All I can say is I'm proud to be Canadian.

I'm not good at multitasking.

I'm slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I've come from.

If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.

I'll always represent Canada. I was born here, and my parents chose to immigrate here. There are so many things I don't see in other countries, I see here. I love having the Maple Leaf behind me.

I do love video games. But after a while, you feel like you really need to get up and do something.

When I was born, my parents were huge into skiing. I grew up on Mont Blanc, skiing on that hill. I was really a ski baby. Loved it; I still love it.

There isn't quite a feeling you get from playing video games that you get when you're playing sports, which is like a sense of euphoria. You just get the satisfaction of doing something active and feeling good after.

I can't count on both hands how many Grand Prixs I've done and how many world championships I've been to, so I think I've really earned the experience to know that when I step on the ice at nationals and when I step on the ice at the Olympics that I feel completely aware of my environment and what to expect.

I can do all my jumps in practice, three in a row, five out of five, four out of five.

Experience is a funny thing. You don't always have it when you need it.

I have a life outside of skating.
