I burnt myself out of skating. I was ready to focus on being a mom. ↗

I didn't want to skate for someone else or for certain marks. ↗

I don't mind the sparkle - I think it's kind of a tradition in skating. I don't think the men really need sparkles, but for the women it's part of the glamour of our sport. ↗

One of my mottos not only just in skating but in life in general and I try to enforce it as well, is like no regrets and just like going for it. ↗

Skating was something I really wanted to do; my parents knew nothing about it. They said they'd support me as long as I was trying my hardest and enjoying it. ↗

As a kid in British Columbia, going back a long way, I learned to skate. ↗

I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers. ↗

I am far more of a loner than people would imagine. But I am the most gregarious and socially interactive loner you ever met. The thing is, I am fascinated by people's stories and I'm very talkative and can't ever say no to anything or anyone, so I tend to over-socialize, to give away too much of my time to the many people I adore. ↗

I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been. ↗
