I celebrate Hanukkah. Anything with gifts is good.

I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature.

It's definitely tough to know you're going to be the last one. It's the best skaters in the world, it's the Olympic Games, it's 11:30 at night. But you just sort of stay in your own world, take it one step at a time and stay strong.

This is really a window for people to choose what they want to skate to and try to explore new things, just do whatever they want. It's really nice to have options to express our creativity.

It's a hard decision for whoever has to make it. I hope the best decision is made. I know they worked hard all year, and it would be nice for them to go since they earned their spots.

I'm used to a very busy schedule. Right now it revolves around training and preparing for Nationals in January. I'm usually at the rink from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week.

I haven't done that program in a long time (eight days due to the flu) so it was nice it turned out pretty well. I was a little slow. I wouldn't necessarily say cautious. It's taken away from my strength and energy. It was good I made it from beginning to end without being late. When I'm healthy and training good, this will be a strong program for me.

I think over the past four years, I have changed as a person - because my focus is not on the medal. None of the medals I have at home, I even know where they are - they're in shoe boxes and random places.

My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.

I'd like to cause a little riot in skating.
Sasha Cohen

I'm preparing physically much harder, and I'm much more prepared. As a result, I am more confident and more comfortable with what I have to do out there.

I'd love to be back in Vancouver in 2010.

I love cashmere. For casual, I like Juicy Couture. I love the beading in Badgley Mischka. I like Dolce & Gabbana. There's such a lot to choose from.

I felt good out there. A bit nervous, but determined and positive.

I've designed since I was 12. The first was when I skated to Carmen, in red and gold and black. I wanted so many frills at that time. It had a lot going on for a little person like me. And I picked out fabrics that didn't stretch. Very uncomfortable.

Of course, I say all the time my personal best is what I am in this for. No matter if I won, it's if I did all I can do.
Sasha Cohen
-
I've just kind of evolved in the way I think. I learned to just enjoy it. I feel really lucky to do what I do, be in the situation I'm in, and I love it. I'm going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry, because I've figured out the worry doesn't help.

It felt a little empty with her not here. Michelle has always been a big part of the event. I miss competing with her. It really doesn't feel like the Nationals.
Sasha Cohen
-
I shall leave you with an ambiguous answer.
Sasha Cohen
-
It was difficult to skate at the end after so many strong performances and I just took it one step at a time. I stayed strong and I believed in myself.
Sasha Cohen
-
I definitely don't feel flawless. I felt strong and I made it happen. I tried to believe in myself. You don't know how strong you are until you test yourself.
Sasha Cohen
-
It feels a little weird without Michelle. Just me and all these little girls.
Sasha Cohen

I just found out and I was a little bit shocked; my thoughts haven't had much of a chance to formulate. But I know it must be really disappointing to have to withdraw. I know how tough it is to come back from injury and get yourself together. It was great that she tried, but things don't always work out.
Sasha Cohen
-
I enjoyed the experience. I think as a person I matured and I was strong through it all. I'm happy with it. I'm just really ecstatic to come out with a medal.
