I really like figure skating.
Lindsey Vonn
My parents were of the opinion, because they had started skating very young, that you should have something that you do that you care about, because it structures your life as you're growing up.
Anton Yelchin
We're still working on it, we still do a lot of work to improve our communication, our efficiency together, to understand one another's different preferences. It's evolved over the course of two decades, for sure. Having spent so much time together, we realize it's a unique dynamic but we're so appreciative of what we have. It's a special partnership. We still really enjoy skating together and I think that's why we still are.
Scott Moir
Say "rationalist” to the average New Age chucklehead, and you conjured up unappetizing images: killjoys obsessed with rules, boors fixated on order, logic-mongers skating around on the surface of things, missing the cosmic essence. Phooey. A rationalist could experience awe as readily as a shaman. But it had to be quality awe, Oliver believed, awe without illusions-the sort of awe he'd felt upon intuiting the size of the universe, or sensing the unlikeliness of his birth.
James K. Morrow
At an early age I told myself I would never quit skating, I would never quit riding BMX and being a motorcycle junkie. I just can't stop doing those things.
Matt Skiba
Growing up, I was sort of a tomboy. I was the one skating with the boys.
Amy Smart
If you're skating on thin ice, you might as well dance.
Anita Shreve
With speed skating, it's like doing one-legged squats over and over again, with that one leg absorbing more than 80 percent of your weight. It takes an enormous amount of strength, and you're in such a weird position.
Apolo Ohno
Vancouver is an amazing city and luckily, growing up in the Seattle area, I was able to immerse myself into the culture at a young age, traveling back and forth across the border for skating competitions as a youngster.
Apolo Ohno
All the suits I buy have to be tailored, no matter what. But it's not just because of my height; it's because I've been skating for so long. My waist is very small, but my legs are just huge. Most really nice suit makers are Italian, and usually they make suit pants for Italian men. I'm like, 'Those Italians must have pretty skinny legs.'
Apolo Ohno
I think growing up in skating, I was surrounded by the LGBT community, so I grew up very aware because I was around it so often, and some of the kindest people I know are gay figure skaters.
Ashley Wagner
Yes, I am the Olympic champion, but this is not the end of it. I want all the gold that there is out there, everything that exists in figure skating. In all events, in all competitions.
Adelina Sotnikova
So the programs all start to all look the same. I watched one free skating competition, and I thought I was watching a short program. Everyone was doing exactly the same elements.
Brian Boitano
Kat and I were in our 20s when we won in '88. Our personalities were already established. We were ready to move on to a life of professional skating.
Brian Boitano
I'm trying to let winning the world championships settle in right now before I begin training again shortly. During the skating season, we skate on average 20 kilometres a day. On top of that, we're riding a lot and lifting a lot of weights.
Clara Hughes
Being surrounded by hockey, I got forced into it as a kid. I started skating when I was 4 and had a rink only 10 minutes from my home. In my town, we had one outdoor rink and one indoor rink, so you could skate all year long. I lived by a lake, too, so we did a lot of skating on the lake.
Carl Hagelin
If you skate with an Olympic level skater, they make you so much better because you're skating behind them, and you're trying to imitate their stride and their stance. It's like having the world's greatest training wheels.
D. B. Sweeney
My mother introduced me to many different things, and figure skating was one of them. I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.
Debi Thomas
I begged my mom to let me start skating.
Debi Thomas
I've got this thing with skating and school - to see how much I can accomplish.
Debi Thomas
My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.
Debi Thomas
Probably the '86 nationals. That was my first real national title and first real statement I ever made in figure skating, and my life changed after I returned.
