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

If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.

I know that, in hockey, the object of the game is simple in that you have to get the puck into the net. With figure skating, it's not as simple, and there is a ton of work that goes into it.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
