Zitat des Tages von Ashley Wagner:
Years ago, I tore out a Nike ad featuring Allyson Felix and Maria Sharapova looking super fierce and tough. I always told my family that I wanted to be like them someday, so to come home to my apartment and see boxes of Nike gear stacked higher than my doorknob is pretty much a dream come true.
When I fall, I fall hard.
To have full and multiple criteria is the best way to decide who is best prepared to be on that Olympic team.
In 2010, I was 17 or 18 and thought, 'Yeah, the Olympics, that might happen.'
I want to stay involved in sports in one way or another.
I am going to get involved with giving back to military families.
I try to stay low-carb and high on lean protein. I'm lucky in that I love chicken and rice; it's one of my favorite meals. I steam some vegetables and top them with olive oil for some flavor.
I love to win, honestly... If you love to win, you should say it. And honestly, I'm hooked on it.
You should not be defined by one bad performance.
Yu Na Kim, Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner - all these girls can do triple-triples in their sleep, and they have the skating skills and the spins and the rest of the technical jumps. So I have to have that as well if I want to be able to call myself 'competitive' against them. And when I say 'competitive,' I mean I want to win.
I love hockey. That's actually one of my favorite sports.
From a young age, I was viciously competitive.
When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
The fact that an icon would even utter my name or have any idea of who I am is absolutely unreal.
I love 'The Vampire Diaries!' I can't help it - it's such a teeny-bopper show, but I think I just like it to stare at the guys.
The SoCal weather can't be beat, but I just haven't quite been able to embrace the lifestyle.
If I train well and stay focused, I'm confident I can deliver when the time comes.
I by no means quit social media.
When my parents were paying for my sport, it wasn't just me out on the ice. Pretty much every dollar my mom made teaching went into my skating.
When I'm competing, I need to be strong.
Off the ice, I can be soft, and I can be elegant and sweet.
Twitter is a blessing and a curse at the same time.
I was very much a tomboy. I just couldn't do the pink ballet tutus.
I'm such a strong-headed person and so stubborn, I don't need someone to be sweet to me.
I haven't mastered the art of sitting and smiling.
I'm scrappy.
To put on a performance, you have to be emotional. You can't be a zombie.
