Mary Docter

I'm supposed to relax and concentrate on the image of myself out there skating my race.

I know I've got to learn to believe in myself.

I've been so mutilated by a lot of articles. I know I haven't said a lot of things I'm quoted as saying in the papers.

Your parents want to think they have a healthy, happy family.

I'm pretty confident about my sobriety, but I don't want to get too confident because that's when I'll crash.

I'm sure Bonnie Blair and Dan Jansen think I'm garbage.

I don't need a good skate to make everything OK.

Win or lose, I'll feel good about myself. That's what is important.

I know I haven't said a lot of things I'm quoted as saying in the papers. It makes me wonder why I brought up the recovery story in the first place.
