43 Quotes by Evgeni Plushenko

It doesn't matter what kind of result will be in the end. I already win for myself.

My main competitor is myself.

It's everything for me. Without figure skating, I am nothing.

I just adore jumping. I do the rest as it is supposed to be done.

If the Olympic champion doesn't know how to jump quad, I don't know. Now it's not figure skating. Now it's dancing.

What worries me though, is that after all those victories people don't see me as a human being anymore. I am not a machine, I have a heart beating in my chest -not an engine, there's blood in my veins- not oil. I know pain and fatigue. I can lose but I will strive to win everything.

I skate for the fans. It's not as fun without them there supporting me. I get energy from them and I want to skate well for them. They relax me. They make me happy when I skate for them. I feel the Americans like me more and more each time I tour.

The fight starts right now. Yeah, I have 10 points more than everybody and I'm happy with the result, of course. But I should perform the same like I did tonight in the free program. If I do my best, I can win first place.

It’s everything for me. Without figure skating, I am nothing.
