I tried ice-skating and wasn't very good at it.
I started ice-skating when I was about 12 or 13 and I was selected in the Australian team for ice hockey. I met my wife at St Moritz Ice Skating about 1955.
I used to ice skate at parties when I was eight, but that was sort of the extent of roller skating, ice skating, that kind of sport.
I love ice-skating but I'm not very good at it.
Ice-skating is a dangerous proposition and tennis is going to be something I'm probably not very good at.
Skating is a sport that I found a lot of interest in from a very, very young age. Ultimately, I think that being on the ice, being in the cold, and trying things and challenging myself in different ways is something that made me really interested in skating.
Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.
When I get bored, or get stuck on an equation, I like to go ice skating, but it makes you forget your problem. Then you can tackle the problem with a fresh new insight. Einstein liked to play the violin to relax. Every physicist likes to have a past time. Mine is ice skating.
Roller-skating and ice-skating are two different things - I found that out the hard way.
As soon as I was introduced to ice speed skating, I was instantly hooked. I never thought about pursuing skating professionally; I just enjoyed doing it.
My hockey is good, but my ice skating is terrible. It's a bit of a mess to watch!
I started out Ice skating with 'Holiday On Ice' and just got offered the part of R2 by chance.

The way I balance life and skating is by enjoying the time I spend away from the rink. When I am not on the ice, I am not focusing on skating.
You know what's good? Going on the ice and knowing that you don't have to skate when the whistle blows. All my life I've been the one skating.
A few years after I finished skating, someone asked where my medals were. I'm like, 'In a suitcase somewhere.' Now they're nicely displayed in an ice rink, but medals don't really mean that much. It's the experience, the story of the skating, the love.
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.
