Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves.

Which is a wonderful irony, I have property there. I go back every chance I get. One of the main reasons I actually wrote the book, agreed to write it having never wanted to do that in my life, very intimidating by the way to write a book. ↗

All the men in my life have been two things: an epic and an epidemic. ↗
