I can adapt to change easily, but I'm not a fan of it.

To have full and multiple criteria is the best way to decide who is best prepared to be on that Olympic team.
-
To put on a performance, you have to be emotional. You can't be a zombie.

Skating is one of those sports you unfortunately see people get stuck in.
-
When I'm competing, I need to be strong.

Covergirl is my sponsor, and they have been so helpful in supplying me with their wonderful products. I love their blush, mascara and lip gloss.

I love Pinterest! Pinterest is absolutely phenomenal when you're trying to come up with a costume design.

I always loved Michelle Kwan's outfits. Most of them were designed by Vera Wang, and they're just so simple, but the fabric that they used and the way that it was sewn together look so elegant and rich.

You always imagine everything will go so smoothly in the Olympic season.

I'm a show pony, and I don't get to skate with girls doing triple Axels every single day. I skate with little babies who are working on their single Axels while trying not to hit them on the ice.

I love hanging out with friends and family.

I'm vicious. I can be nice off the ice, but on the ice, that's not where it's time to make friends.

My parents told me, 'Skating is a privilege, not a right, and school always comes first.'

I'm such a strong-headed person and so stubborn, I don't need someone to be sweet to me.

I might be more of a tomboy on the ice, but when it comes to fashion and things like that, I'm a total girlie-girl.
-
I'm a strong-headed person, and you can always tell how I'm feeling in that moment.

I'm the type of skater that needs to stay upbeat and relaxed, open, because if I stay quiet, I get in my head, and then I start to think too much and start to doubt.

Adding an Olympic medal to everything that I have already accomplished would be so huge for me.
