You figure you train all year for this, you're so nervous, so you might as well stand on the ice and enjoy it for more than five seconds. I realize everything I have been through and what I have done, appreciate the audience. It's nice to have just 30 seconds of relief.
I wanted to enjoy the performance. This is a really fun program, a Gypsy number. It's very seductive and playful and it's getting involved with the crowd and the judges. I enjoyed it and just let it happen.
I've just kind of evolved in the way I think. I learned to just enjoy it. I feel really lucky to do what I do, be in the situation I'm in, and I love it. I'm going to have fun out there and trust my training and not worry, because I've figured out the worry doesn't help.
I really wanted to soak it in. Everyone is so quick to get off (of the ice), but we work so hard for this. It's nice to take two minutes to enjoy your accomplishments.
I tried to enjoy it and just make it happen. It's a really fun program, playful. It's about getting involved with the audience -- the judges and spectators. I enjoy the performance part.
