Food is really important to me.

Blogs are evil. Actually, the blogs aren't as evil as blog comments.

I lick the cheese off Doritos and put them back in the bag. I will eat pretty much anything as long as it's salty. Or sweet. Or spicy.

I can cook really complicated recipes, but it takes a real talent to do the perfect egg.

'Sports Illustrated' does extremely minimal retouching. Other publications, however... phew. They do a lot; I've watched myself be Photoshopped before. It. Is. The. Worst.

St. Tropez has a face glow that is amazing - you can put it on without makeup, and your skin just glows.

I feel badly for those girls who have to be so waif thin, doing those catwalks all the time because, luckily, we're going into a different time - that's what they're saying, at least - in we're appreciating a curvier figure. But to be honest, I couldn't be like an hourglass if I tried.

I'm not good at taking pictures. I can't give a good face. I crack up.

I've always enjoyed things a little more chaotic than most people would prefer. I feel that I run well in chaos.

I'll keep doing my training and I'm sure the goals will come.

If the train doesn’t stop at your station, it’s not your train.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart therefrom.”

But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.

"Enter on the way of training while the spirits in youth are still pliable."

"The Yankees are still there, there are still spring training games. If that's the greatest criticism, the only answer I can give to that is that at some point in life, you've got to rise above your own selfish interests. If this sport is to (reach) the heights that we have to, you can't let your own myopic interest guide you."

"Everyone on the bench stands for the man coming out of the game."

"I wasn't as critical during games as I was at practice. Players needed confidence during games more than criticism."

"I'm practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word."

"Nonviolence is really tough. You don't practice nonviolence at conferences; you practice it on picket-lines."

"Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things."

"But I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble."

"My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team."

"I'm used to a very busy schedule. Right now it revolves around training and preparing for Nationals in January. I'm usually at the rink from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and then I attend public school for two hours, three times per week."

"I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I'm not on the ice."
