A figure skater is not just a figure skater who does great jumps. He is an artist on ice.

Alexei Yagudin

One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome.

Lil Wayne

I've always been a figure skater and ballet dancer. I love physical comedy, and any chance that I get to do that... that is so me.

Allison Janney

I was always active as a kid. I was a professional figure skater for many years and I was a dancer, so it's just been part of my life, and I think that creates a certain body type.

Malin Akerman

I've been an athlete all my life. I was a competitive figure skater, and then when I realized skating was not an adult sport I took up tennis and played that quite seriously from the time I was about 18.

Condoleezza Rice

I didn't want to be the sissy figure skater, you know.

Scott Hamilton

Music is fun, but I'm an ice skater. I may sing songs and do shows, make movies and other things... that's all well and good and I enjoy it, and I would never trade any of those for anything. But figure skating is who I am.

Johnny Weir

Figure skating has been a great influence for me. I took dance at the School of American Ballet, which helped my own skating. And whether you are a skater or a dancer, without sounding narcissistic, it is all about looking in the mirror.

Vera Wang

I have been a figure skater for so long that when I stopped that competitive day-to-day grind, I didn't know what to do with myself. I don't know how the world works outside of being barked at by a Ukrainian woman and watching my weight.

Johnny Weir

I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.

Michio Kaku

Richard got married to a figure skater, and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator.

Joni Mitchell

One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater's program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he'll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals.

Brad Alan Lewis

I dreamed of being a professional skater once. I wanted to be a Korean Olympic skater, but I wasn't good enough, so I quit.

Song Joong-ki

I have never been able, really, to figure out where my life begins and where it ends. I have never, never been able to figure it all out, what it's all about, what it all means.

Jonas Mekas

I still have so much passion to perform... That's who Johnny Weir is: I'm a figure skater, I'm an athlete. I want to have fun and enjoy it.

Johnny Weir

I never imagined getting to do what I love for a living and having so many people appreciate it. There was only one other skater in my high school and we were the lowest form of cool. Our classmates couldn't figure out why we liked such a loser sport, or why we hadn't grown out of it yet.
