I Always Had The Sense That Nothing

It's Different Today Than It Was Then. In Those Days We Were Strictly Amateurs. If I Had Wanted To Stay In For The '80 Olympics, My Parents Couldn't Have Afforded It.

You See The Fairy Tale - Four Minutes Of Glory At The Olympics. I Thought My Life Would Be Cake After That.

I Think I Dreamed About Competing At The Olympics, Maybe Hoping To Win A Gold Medal. Not That I Ever Thought That I Would, But I Dreamed About It.

If I'm On Skates, I Feel At Home No Matter What I'm Doing. If They Wanted Me To Sing And Dance I Think I Could Do It Just Becausei Was On Skates. When I'm Not On Skates, Though, I Feel Very Strange.

In My Teen Years Leading Up To The Olympics, I Loved Having The Excuse To Skip Out On Parties Because Of Skating. Partying Wasnt My Thing Anyway. Mostly I Hung Out With Other Skaters. We Were All Buddies, So Its Not Like I Missed Out On Socializing. I Was Really Enjoying Myself.
