I can't even imagine what it's like and right now I'm like in shock, I can't believe that I'm Olympic Champion.

I love a good pair of sweats!

I love my dresses and a good A-line cinch at the waist.

My parents gave me the gift of love and support. They told me never to question what my heart wanted and to be proud of who I was as an individual.

I look back, in an endearing way, on that time of my life when I was competing at the Olympics.

A lot of skaters hole themselves up in hotels and focus - and that's great, and that may work for them. But for me, having the Olympic experience was as great as winning the medal. I have so many memories of living in the village and meeting other athletes, seeing other sports, and feeling the energy. It's so magical.

The sound of the blades on the ice in the morning is like smelling fresh coffee.

I think back to my time when I was skating: I was 15, and there was no such thing as Instagram.

I don't know if it's because I've done it forever that it feels strange not to, but I really do believe that if you try to eat healthy, and you work out, it starts your day off good.

There really hasn't been a name that is in the media on a daily basis, and that's what skating in the '90s was. Everyone knew, after the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan incident - Tonya Harding, Nancy Kerrigan, Kristi Yamaguchi, Michelle Kwan - everyone knew these names. They were household names because they were winning; they were on TV.
