Music is fun, but I'm an ice skater. I may sing songs and do shows, make movies and other things... that's all well and good and I enjoy it, and I would never trade any of those for anything. But figure skating is who I am.
I think I've always loved playing in North America.
I think it's very important for the Chinese people, the Chinese government to build lots of hockey rinks, bring some coaches here and learn the game, and I think they will do well.
I grew up in Finland, so it's cold in Finland, we have ice rinks outdoors.
During my early skating years, there were not many ice rinks in Korea, and even the few rinks that existed, most of them were public.
I didn't play basketball because I'd learned how to ice skate.
As soon as I was introduced to ice speed skating, I was instantly hooked. I never thought about pursuing skating professionally; I just enjoyed doing it.
As a kid in British Columbia, going back a long way, I learned to skate.
Much more a skiing family than a hockey family, my dad wasn't a big fan of the arenas early in the morning on the weekends.
I skated in ice shows all over Europe and South Africa for 20 years. I love to ice skate.
