I want to be a skater.

I want to be a full-package skater.

Skaters are very much like peacocks.

Skaters are infamously superstitious.

I'm a solo skater; the sport can be lonely.

I'm an ice skater. I'm all about the glitter.

I have a very close friendship with the skaters.

I'm a speed skater. That's who I am, in my heart.

I have never been the stereotypical figure skater.

There is always the next big thing, the next big skater.

Before I even wanted to be an actor, I wanted to be a figure skater.

A coach told my mum I had talent and I would make a very good skater.

I actually prefer soothing music - and maybe that's the skater in me.

I'm never going to be the best skater, but I feel like I'm getting better.

I was a natural skater, but I also took private lessons to enhance my skills.

Ever since I was a younger skater, I've been working my way to these big jumps.

One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome.

Most of my friends are skaters or were skaters at one time, so they obviously relate.

I have always believed that I've been an amazing skater regardless of what the results say.

I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

I would love nothing more than to become a professional ice skater, but I would rather do it privately.

You can be a great skater, you can have really good puck skills, but the ability to problem-solve is, to me, key.

I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.

When I decided to continue in the sport, I decided I would do whatever it takes to be the best figure skater I can be.

When it comes down to competition, its not always about the best skater, its about who skates the best in that competition.

I started skating when I was 2 years old because of my older sister Natasha was a skater, and I wanted to be just like her!

I dreamed of being a professional skater once. I wanted to be a Korean Olympic skater, but I wasn't good enough, so I quit.

When it comes down to competition, it's not always about the best skater, it's about who skates the best in that competition.

I am a competitive figure skater. I've been doing that for the same amount of time I've been doing acting. Ever since I was two.

If I give up my career as a skater simply because I fear I won't show my best performance, I would be really sorry later in life.

I've always been a figure skater and ballet dancer. I love physical comedy, and any chance that I get to do that... that is so me.

I have nothing against tricep kickbacks, but I'd rather have you do a skater's lunge with a kickback and get a lower body workout.

Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway.

I was an anorexic, beer drinking, class cutting, doodling, shoplifting, skater chick that was into nature, art class, and the beach.

Despite the usual idea of a figure skater, I have no rhythm when it comes to even walking off the ice. I fall off curbs all the time.

Olympic Gold changed me and my life dramatically. I became a celebrity overnight and people see me as a famous skater, not a real person.

I still have so much passion to perform... That's who Johnny Weir is: I'm a figure skater, I'm an athlete. I want to have fun and enjoy it.

The skill set for hockey is so specific to skating and if you haven't been skating as a kid it's impossible to play - and I wasn't a skater.

Everybody has to deal with tough times. A gold medal doesn't make you immune to that. A skater is used to falling down and getting up again.

To me, a hockey player has to be every sport rolled into one: ice skater, baseball player, football player, etc. It's just incredible to watch!

For me, the first thing I do when I know I have to do the fastest skater is check my edges and make sure there's no nicks or anything like that.

First I wanted to be an ice skater, and then I saw 'Bye, Bye Birdie,' and everything changed. I'm glad I learned through the process of theater.

I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

I have always believed that I am an amazing skater regardless of what the results say, and I think that determination and confidence has kept me in the game so long.

I'm the type of skater that needs to stay upbeat and relaxed, open, because if I stay quiet, I get in my head, and then I start to think too much and start to doubt.

I think, as a skater, I started out really strongly, and as I have grown in the public eye, I have had my rough seasons that most people don't get as much attention for.

I was a snot-nosed teenage skater at one point, who listened to only punk records and hung around people that had that idea of what is okay to do and what isn't okay to do.

I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.

Skating everywhere is unpredictable, no amount of money or facilities is going to create a skating star. You have to have a skater who is dedicated, passionate, and willing to learn.

I feel proud to be a skater: it's taught me how to be emotional, more connected with myself, more mature, more understanding of my thoughts and the conversations I've had with myself.
