I have a good idea of how lucky we are to be growing up in Canada.

I feel proud to be a skater: it's taught me how to be emotional, more connected with myself, more mature, more understanding of my thoughts and the conversations I've had with myself.

I relate really well to individuals who have a career and explore other adventures outside of skating. That, to me, is fascinating.

I hope I can compete in one or two Olympics in my career. Of course I would like to win a medal, but just being there would be awesome.

It is unfortunate that Americans are no longer aware of what the constitution says and what their rights are. Because of that, we are often very passive about what happens when the government violates those rights.

You have to remember that professional football is a job, too, and some people have to get results on the pitch to pay to live.

Reformist kings can save their dynasties now by helping their countries move smoothly into democracy, or they will end their years in exile like the Russian aristocrats of a century earlier.

I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, why Democracy means, everybody but me.
