'Overwhelming' is the only word that comes to mind. |
I don't know the system enough to be excited or disappointed. |
I don't really know the man my mother fell in love with. My dad was not a big part of my life for a long time. |
I feel cool. I was surprised how relaxed I was. |
I haven't experienced needing to be at such a high level for so long time, so it's been overwhelming for me. I'm realizing more and more just how blessed I am to have Ryan as a partner. He is beautiful in all situations, and I feel so lucky and I want to give him a lot of credit. We will do some fantastic performances. |
I mean you looked at me, and you could tell something was wrong. But I also lied through my teeth. Because you don't want to say the wrong thing, or the bad thing -- the thing that's going to make your life more complicated. You just want to say everything is fine. |
I'm just thrilled; not everyone gets another chance to be a part of something really special. |
It was cool. I was surprised how relaxed I was. I broke my lace, so I didn't have time to worry about much else. I think I had two seconds [after attending to the lace] and then I stepped on the ice and Ryan squeezed my hand, and off we went. |
It was fun. I think for us this is really about the experience, and we're here to root on the other Americans. |
Nothing is off limits. Everyone is trying to sell sex. |
Overwhelming is the only word that comes to mind. This morning, I cried a little bit -- I think it kind of hit me, the journey that I have been through personally, and the journey of Ryan and me. |
We really, really wanted this. We were afraid to say how much we wanted this. |
Whirlwind is putting it nicely. |
Wow, I can't even talk. We really, really wanted it. I'm almost afraid to say how much we wanted it. |
You get so wrapped up in the competitions. The victories, little and big, you don't recognize. Performing in the Olympics was a huge victory for me, and I don't think I've allowed myself to acknowledge it. |
