From The Fall Of October, 1980 To

So As An Amateur Olympic Competitor I Loved Criticism, Because It Made Me Better. But Now As A Professional I Don't Really Know How To Channel It Or Where To Take It, So I Don't Take It Quite As Well.

I Didn't Want To Be The Sissy Figure Skater, You Know.

Refined Indifference Is A Sports Psychology Precept: Train Like There's No Tomorrow And Then Accept Whatever Happens. Once You Step On The Field Realize That Whatever Is Meant To Be Is Meant To Be.

But I Never Really Thought That I Would Be Extraordinarily Successful At Skating, It's Just Something That Happened, You Know.

I Graduated A The Top Of My Class In The '84 Olympic Games; I Won A Gold Medal.
