I Worked As Hard As I Could.

I Hated To Read. My Mother Could Not Get Me To Read. I’m Going Through The Same Thing With My Daughter Now. I Love To Read Now, But I Don’t Remember Reading.

There Were No Competitions On Television. The First Skating Competition I Ever Remember Seeing On Television Was The 1968 Olympics When Peggy Fleming Won.

I Wanted To Learn How To Skate Backwards And They Wouldn't Help Me And They Went Off And Left Me On My Own.

If You Are A Complete Perfectionist, Then The Truth Is That This Ice Skating Business Will Drive You A Little Crazy!

In My Teen Years Leading Up To The Olympics, I Loved Having The Excuse To Skip Out On Parties Because Of Skating. Partying Wasnt My Thing Anyway. Mostly I Hung Out With Other Skaters. We Were All Buddies, So Its Not Like I Missed Out On Socializing. I Was Really Enjoying Myself.
