Experience is a funny thing. You don't always have it when you need it.

All I can say is I'm proud to be Canadian.

My skating brought me to a level of being well known in Canada, but I've grown up having trained in the U.S. I haven't lost my roots in Canada thanks to the little rpminders again when I come home: People thanking me for what I do and for representing Canada in the world stage.

My parents are very good parents and have already said that they will look after me until the end of my skating career.

I skate just to satisfy my own desire and not care about other people's desire for me to do well.

When I go to competitions, I don't have so much confidence that I don't worry or get nervous about the other skaters doing well.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

There is nothing new in art except talent.

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.
