We have to get jobs to support ourselves. We can't sit around for six months like it's vacation.

I think the biggest thing for me was that it showed me there are a lot of other ways that I can continue in this sport even past competition days. That's really what this last 10 years has been about for me - finding myself and what I want to do after the Olympics, and finding ways to stay involved with the sport that I love.
I take a totally different approach to a lot of things now, school and my social life come before gym in a lot of ways, although I know that I still need to keep in shape, and stay healthy enough so that I can keep competing, and keep doing the shows, but it's not my whole life right now.
I already do what I love doing, so it's more progressing toward getting more involved in the things that I'm already involved in. Maybe I might branch out into other areas but I don't know that there's going to be this sudden change in what I'm going to do because a lot of it I already am fortunate enough to get to do.

For ourselves, we need to play great hockey and sweep this weekend.
I'm really proud of her and how she has developed. I think she has a good shot at it. She helped hold the team together. ... The other two are exceptional hockey players. So who knows.
The first line is all about speed and finesse. They'll use speed, and hands and toughness. Between those three, it's a good combination.
Charles Barkley was a big teddy bear.
It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good
