Skating Quotes

I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It’s an amazing feeling Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of things I might be good at, such as competitive figure skating, window washing from ten stories up, and being an open heart surgeon. I might also make an excellent Kamikaze pilot - except for the fact that I don’t want to learn how to fly and have no interest in taking my own life on behalf of Japan Picture Quote #1

I started skating and I kind of liked it because I could run circles around the guys that wouldn’t pick me to play baseball Picture Quote #1

While starving refugees in Homs were providing target practice for government snipers, Bashar al-Assad’s strongest international backer was in Sochi, at the Iceberg Skating Palace, visibly moved, smiling with deep satisfaction, as the Russians beautifully glided and leaped their way to the gold medal in the team event Picture Quote #1

I know that I am the kind of person that gets a little bit more nervous than other skaters, but that’s because I care for my skating very much. I take all my emotions with me. I can’t go out and say ‘Now, this is just my job.’ I really care Picture Quote #1

I’m a dirty kid: I like to be outside, I like to run about, I like to get messy. So I spent a lot of time outside as a kid, skating and just being a disaster. I was obsessed with Dogtown - I still am obsessed with Dogtown, the Z-Boys. I love Stacy Peralta and Jay Adams and Andrew Reynolds, all these guys. I used to think I was Chad Muska Picture Quote #1

People think skating would translate very easily to dancing, but it really doesn’t. Dancing is a lot of fun and not as dangerous as being on the ice Picture Quote #1

Being queer you’re supposed to adore figure skating. It’s a sport, not an art. I love the costumes and hate the music and of course I worship Johnny Weir because so does he. Also he’s real. It’s a full gay thing and it always has been Picture Quote #1

Punk rock and skateboarding took the ‘school’ out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I’m mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc Picture Quote #1

I didn’t study dance. I had some ballet lessons because I needed it for posture and for my arms, mostly. My skating coach said I really needed it, from the belly button up, as opposed to the footwork. In skating, the shoes don’t move Picture Quote #1

I skate a lot with my shirt off, so working out has always been important to me. I almost have as much fun working out as I do skating. And seeing your body change, and seeing yourself get bigger and more toned and cut, makes a big difference in how you feel about yourself Picture Quote #1

I had a hard time with that hockey. I hadn’t grown up skating, so that was my biggest challenge. We worked on it and worked on it. But then when we first shot it, it was so hard for me Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a born athlete. My coaches have told me my muscles and body structure are perfect for skating Picture Quote #1

My life has always been compartmentalized into different aspects. I have my speed skating Olympic pursuits, I have my personal life and have my business life and have my entertainment - TV - Hollywood - whatever have you - always compartmentalizing every aspect of my life Picture Quote #1

I started out Ice skating with ‘Holiday On Ice’ and just got offered the part of R2 by chance Picture Quote #1

I appreciate being able to give back to charities I care about such as the American Diabetes Association - my older sister passed away from diabetes - and Figure Skating in Harlem, which teaches young girls about confidence, focus and goal-setting Picture Quote #1

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me, the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating Picture Quote #1

In the 80s, when Gretzky came to the World Championships in the second or third game, you’d see this guy skating circles around the other ones. Unbelievable Picture Quote #1

I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I’ve done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve Picture Quote #1

My life path has been a blessing and a great learning experience. Skateboarding is my passion and I don’t see that changing. When I’m not skating, I love to surf. I’m open to the new experiences and opportunities Picture Quote #1

When I saw the 2010 Games and speed skating, I had a change of heart. I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality Picture Quote #1

Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer Picture Quote #1

Luckily, I discovered ice skating when I was eight and a half years old. There were two wonderful ponds within walking distance of my house. After all the physical activity the summer provided, I craved movement in the cold of winter. I had no skates, so Mom stuffed socks into my brother’s old ones Picture Quote #1

Red certainly is the family color. From my mother and my grandmother, I’ve learned a lot of little tricks - the significance of color and lipstick being one of them. I started skating when I was eight years old, and my mom did my makeup for me back then Picture Quote #1

When I was young, many people didn’t know what figure skating was. Some who knew of it thought of it as dancing on ice. But, as I entered international competitions and got good results, many people got to know more about it and came to cheer for me Picture Quote #1

Everyone saying, ‘She’ll bring back women’s skating. This will be the one to watch at the Olympics.’ And they say things that are so far away, but really, you have to bring it back in and look at the next competition, the next day, what you want to accomplish because if you get too far ahead of yourself, you can trip yourself up Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to compete. I want to skate for the joy. I get so nervous in competition. I get always sick. I had pressures enough in my life from skating Picture Quote #1

Without strength and courage it’s really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you’re alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself Picture Quote #1
