I Worked As Hard As I Could.

I Wouldn't Say That There's Ever Been An Olympic Champion That Didn't Deserve To Win An Olympic Gold Medal.

Our Family Life, Before Figure Skating Turned It Upside Down, Seemed Normal. Our Town Of Riverside, Connecticut, Was Part Of Greenwich, And We Had The Advantage Of Their Wonderful Community, With Great Beaches And Beautiful Parks.

I Was A Bratty Little Sister. I Was The Youngest Of Three, And I Often Felt As Though I Didn't Fit In.

To Be The World's Best, You Have To Beat The World's Best.

I Was Passionate. I Found Something That I Loved. I Could Be All Alone In A Big Old Skating Rink And Nobody Could Get Near Me And I Didn't Have To Talk To Anybody Because Of My Shyness. It Was Great. I Was In My Fantasy World.
