“Not dead yet!”

I don't like floor exercise because it's become so discordant with the music, which makes me crazy.

I always thought if Khorkina had been a figure skater, she would've been the perfect match for Sasha Zhulin in ice dance in terms of mutual arrogance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just want to know who decided those crazy hand figures were "pretty."

I don't think anyone really thinks they're "pretty." They're something to do in the rest that you've pretty much got to take between tough elements.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Was Svetlana the Belorussian Swan? I adored her, her disdain was so regal.

Wasn't it though? She looked like an emu sucking on a lemon.

She's short, but her body looks older. She's got incredible muscle.

Oh, I was just looking at her face.

Last week, when I was at the beach with my parents, someone that my mom was talking to asked me what grade I was in.
