#skating

There's something about putting on a pair of skates, and getting out there and moving like nobody else can. Freedom is a word that comes to mind. ↗

The problem with winter sports is that -- follow me closely here -- they generally take place in winter. ↗

When I was skating you had to participate in every thing. ↗

I think for me it was a natural transition to move full time into acting rather than figure skating. ↗

That's a hard question, because I started skating when I was three, so I don't really remember life before it, and I don't know what it is like not to work hard at something. ↗

It takes tremendous will to compete in any athletic endeavor, so it meant going to bed early and getting my homework done in advance. I had to sacrifice things, like a social life, to be a skater at 15. But I loved skating so much that it was worth everything to me. ↗

All those years of skating and dancing have carried over. I can't design anything without thinking of how a woman's body will look and move when she's wearing it. ↗

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. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life. ↗

I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear. ↗

If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog. ↗
