In ice dance, the practices are huge. The judges are there, they’re talking. Your judge is trying to sell you to the other countries‘ judges – ‘Look at that lift, they have tons of speed‘ – and you have to be on.

Every time I turn on the Olympics there is somebody that I know and have had intense conversations with, and that’s cool.

I believe in the morals that I do. I believe in the projects I take part in and I think that has been my north star.

In my opinion, sport teaches valuable lessons in extremely rewarding circumstances.

For some, sport is just a short chapter of their lives so I am excited to help athletes develop many life skills that they can take with them on their next chapter.

We love to compete, and I feel like national champion is a title I want to get every year, so to see it going to another team is going to hurt.

I was just kind of sour with the sport. I didn’t want anything to do with it. I went into a period of excessive partying and doing anything that wasn’t figure skating, really. I went and built a house with my brother. I shut the whole world out and shut everything down.

Anybody that Tessa and I end up with in our personal lives would have to understand how much we love skating and how much we love being together on the ice. If they didn’t understand that, then we wouldn’t be with them.

I don’t think revenge is enough to fuel the fire it takes to go to an Olympic Games and be successful.

It’s kind of edgy, but you do have this emotional connection to it. It gives you goosebumps, it makes you feel something every day in training. That ‘Moulin Rouge‘ soundtrack does that for us.

People can be a little bit catty.

I don’t think it would be fair for Tessa to do ‘Dancing With The Stars.’

Actually I prefer brunettes.

We came back. We didn’t have to. It was for us. And I think there is power to that. We’re doing this because we love figure skating, because we love ice dancing with each other. It’s a crazy thing to say, but that’s why.

I mean, Patrick Chan, you could make the argument he‘s the best skater that ever was.

We’re a team that likes to win, and we expect to win every time we go out.

Obviously, the skaters in generations before us didn’t have the opportunity to win multiple medals at an Olympic Games. We recognize that.

When I watch a movie, I want movie stars to be in love too.

It’s really tricky to find someone who understands the relationship that Tessa and I have, because it’s unique.

We have the biggest title in the sport and we wanted to make sure that we pushed ourselves and experimented with the sport and I think we’ve done that.

We’re not coming back unless it’s to become Olympic champions again.

Obviously, Fred Astaire was a legend. I’ve tried to copy some of his movements.

We were made for each other, in a work relationship. There’s real love there. We’re so proud of the business relationship we have.

We had a whole bunch of perks after the Olympic games like having dinner with the Queen of England and being hosted by the Prince of Monaco. We got to drop pucks at hockey games. We got to go on quite a tour.

At Skate Canada, we have a history of very professional judging that’s very fair, and we’re proud of that.

Golf has taught me a lot about patience and keeping my temper.

It’s exciting for me as a male to see other guys wanting to be ice dancers.

When we think about making the people in the audience happy, or trying to make them feel something, it kind of goes to waste. Usually we have our best skates when we just think about each other, and we just think about being in unison, and think about the program we’re trying to do.

We knew we made a mistake in 2014. We didn’t pick music that was dear to our hearts and weren’t personally invested in a program. We vowed to never do that again.

On a short program, you’ve got to be tight and you’ve got to make sure that you get all your points.

We’re very passionate about figure skating but it’s a huge world out there and there’s a lot of opportunity, and it’ll be so much fun to see where we go.

I want to inspire the next generation of athletes, not just figure skaters.

We don’t have to fake the feeling of looking into each other’s eyes and feeling something. That’s a joy. It’s been a joy our whole career.

I would say that how we want to be remembered is by inspiring the next generation, and that goes for Canadians and anyone in the world. Hopefully ice dance has come to a new level.

I think I’m more made for radio myself.

I think maybe the reason we’ve lasted so long is we respect each other as individuals and, you know, we love each other.

We build programs with points in mind.

You can’t just measure yourself solely on winning that medal. It has to be on the everyday experience.

Tessa is brilliant in every sense. Everybody should have a Tessa.

Tessa and I, what we’d like to be – it’s so hard to evaluate ourselves – when we’re training, focusing on things, it’s about a man and a woman, what we create between each other, working off each other.

It’s funny to look back – Tessa was seven and I was nine. I remember there wasn’t a lot of talking at the beginning. We were terrified to hold hands for quite a while.

What I find about Olympic games is there’s so many fantastic stories, and the celebration of sport, and to be involved in that is the honor of our lifetime.

That’s what we love to do and I think our skating’s at it’s best when we do that: when we draw people in and hopefully make them feel something.

We’re very proud of our business relationship, it’s been very special for 20 years. Who can say that? It makes me shake my head sometimes driving to the rink, because I’m still excited to see Tessa at the arena for warmup.

‘The Seasons‘ program that really is part of our souls, it tells the story of our relationship of Tessa and Scott and it’s a lot of fun for our longtime fans and hopefully for our new fans.

As a coach, I am committed to not only developing well-rounded athletes but also good human beings.

After PyeongChang and after the tours, I was searching for different fulfillment. And then when my fiancee walked into my life, it became clear the direction I wanted to head.

My first love was hockey, but it seemed the more I skated and danced with Tessa, the more I fell in love with the sport.

Tessa and I have grown up together. It’s hard to explain our relationship because we’ve gone through so much together. It’s so intense. It is so special. You can’t really compare it and it’s hard for people to understand it.

We really focus when we compete, not about the placement so much, just about us having our moment.

We feel like we’re the Olympic gold medallists and we have the opportunity to bring that gold home. That will be our goal and short of that we would probably be disappointed.

I have always enjoyed being a part of a team and benefitting from lifting the spirits of a teammate one day and having them lift yours the next.

People always think we have the summer off, but it’s the opposite. From our rink you can see through the glass to the weather outside, and on a nice day that’s really tough.

One of the benefits of training in America is that we can go out and there isn’t that hype.

People always ask you, ‘Are you like brother and sister? Are you like a married couple?’ It’s really original and it can’t really be explained.
