Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.

I can't say, 'It doesn't matter if you win or lose.' It's not true. You go in to win.

Skating taught me to set a goal and to block out other things and just focus on this one thing.

When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.

Sometimes I even now feel like a stranger in my country. But I knew there would be problems because I had seen the world as a skater. And now? A lot of people in eastern Germany have lost jobs, rents went up, food costs went up, unemployment went to 20 percent. Freedom is good, but it is not easy.
