#skates

I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson. ↗

I always thought after 2002 that I'd hang up my skates and turn professional and just go on tour and do shows. But I don't know when it is enough. I mean, I still enjoy it. I'm the luckiest girl alive that I get to perform in front of thousands of people, do what I love doing. ↗

My parents put skates on me at age 2, the way it should be if you're serious, and I've always liked it. ↗

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There's plenty of movement, but you never know if it's going to be forward, backwards, or sideways. ↗

He really is terribly heavy going. Like running up hill in roller skates. ↗

I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing. ↗
