When I Was On The Ice, In The Lights, With The Music And The Motion, There Was A Certain Kind Of Flirtation That Gave Great Energy And Expressiveness To My Performance.

When The Going Got Tough, I Really Had To Draw On Many Of The Same Competitive Instincts I Did When I Was Skating. I Really Had To Put My Head Down And Stay Positive. I Had To Fight.
