America's commitment to religious freedom and tolerance should not be conditional.

I was imbued from a very early age with a sense of doom.

I always wanted to be a Sixer... I always wanted to finish my career as a Sixer.

When I came back on the rink in 2012, I set a goal of wrapping up my career well rather than just winning medals. I'm not preparing for any special skills for Sochi because I don't feel like they are necessary.
