I don't really know the man my mother fell in love with. My dad was not a big part of my life for a long time.

I haven't experienced needing to be at such a high level for so long time, so it's been overwhelming for me. I'm realizing more and more just how blessed I am to have Ryan as a partner. He is beautiful in all situations, and I feel so lucky and I want to give him a lot of credit. We will do some fantastic performances.

I'm just thrilled; not everyone gets another chance to be a part of something really special.

I mean you looked at me, and you could tell something was wrong. But I also lied through my teeth. Because you don't want to say the wrong thing, or the bad thing -- the thing that's going to make your life more complicated. You just want to say everything is fine.

Nothing is off limits. Everyone is trying to sell sex.

It was fun. I think for us this is really about the experience, and we're here to root on the other Americans.

You get so wrapped up in the competitions. The victories, little and big, you don't recognize. Performing in the Olympics was a huge victory for me, and I don't think I've allowed myself to acknowledge it.

We really, really wanted this. We were afraid to say how much we wanted this.

Overwhelming' is the only word that comes to mind.

Overwhelming is the only word that comes to mind. This morning, I cried a little bit -- I think it kind of hit me, the journey that I have been through personally, and the journey of Ryan and me.
