I'd rather get a nice warmup suit. That's something I can use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them if I need the money.

Then going out on the ice usually about 15 minutes before and certain things I would do for the different races, aspects that you run through your mind.

Sports and politics don't mix.

The X Games have done night and day for snowboarding and action sports.

Hockey seems completely lawless and, therefore, inexplicably sexy.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
