I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
So I went for engineering, specifically product design, which I enjoyed.
Right now I am doing my residency in orthopedic research.
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.
What was most important to me at the Olympics was going out there and performing my best. When I messed up the first jump combination, which was my big move, it hit me that I messed up the program of my life.
My skating is a very emotional thing that comes from the heart, never doing it for the medal.
The Olympics: not one of my better memories.
I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.
I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.
I begged my mom to let me start skating.
I am not really sure how I got interested in medicine.
I would make my mom buy me the toy doctor kit.
