“I was an athlete. And I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty....” — Katarina Witt Quote

“I was an athlete. And I proved I didn't win just because I was pretty. I was good, too.”

“When you see the audiences and the smiling faces at the shows it really makes up for the work that you put in. I have a job I really love so whatever hecticness comes up - I'll just deal with it.”

“It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.”

“I remember I wanted to be an athlete. I wanted to be in the NFL or NBA or something, and I don't think I dreamed of being a benchwarmer. I'm sure I wanted to be the best. But I didn't really ever think I was going to be a famous musician.”

“If a person, an athlete is not versed in something, their first reaction when there is a bad situation is not a good feeling. It's panic.”

“So while you're an athlete, and you have that platform, what you want to be able to do is make it work for you as much as possible, because there's going to be life after sports.”
