My Coach Was A Great Politician, So

There Were No Competitions On Television. The First Skating Competition I Ever Remember Seeing On Television Was The 1968 Olympics When Peggy Fleming Won.

You See The Fairy Tale - Four Minutes Of Glory At The Olympics. I Thought My Life Would Be Cake After That.

I Hated To Read. My Mother Could Not Get Me To Read. I’m Going Through The Same Thing With My Daughter Now. I Love To Read Now, But I Don’t Remember Reading.

I Was Just Ice Skating. I Had No Concept Of That. In Those Days You Couldn't See The Judges. I Was This Little Person On The Ice And They Were Just People That Would Stand Around The Boards.

It's Different Today Than It Was Then. In Those Days We Were Strictly Amateurs. If I Had Wanted To Stay In For The '80 Olympics, My Parents Couldn't Have Afforded It.
