The way I balance life and skating is by enjoying the time I spend away from the rink. When I am not on the ice, I am not focusing on skating.

I'm more thoughtful and aware of how my body feels. I've learned the difference of what is just sore from a hard workout or what's sore from a possible injury.

When I saw the movie 'Black Swan,' I liked the darker aspect of it, the more dramatics, and that's what I like to do for my programs.

Figure skating is such an individual sport, but to have a teammate on the podium with you is unbelievable.

I never dreamt of the Olympics growing up. It's not something that I watched on TV; it's not something my parents ever talked about.

Marystown, in Newfoundland, it's where began for me. It's where most of my family still lives and where a lot of my supporters are from.

On the ice, I feel like I can become a different person, and the darker dramatics, the Black Swan, is confident: she's free to do whatever she wants, and that attitude helps in my skating. The White Swan is, I feel, more what I'm actually like off the ice: I'm a lot quieter, and if someone tells me to do something, I'll just do it.

Ever since I was a little kid, I loved being the centre of attention. I think it's part of the reason why I loved skating. You're literally in a fishbowl. You're in the middle of the ice by yourself, and the world is watching.

I was such a goofy kid that, when I won things, people were like, 'Oh, when did that happen?'

Ultimately, for me, weight is something I have to deal with every year, but I do it with food because I love food. But it's a struggle; it's something that I think about.

I don't have many hobbies outside of skating. But I do read, watch TV, play with my animals, and try to hang out with my friends every now and then.
Kaetlyn Osmond -
I knew my body could take the battle of everyday training and take the battle of falls and bending in ways that bodies really shouldn't bend.
