[M]y style, personally, is just me being free and trying to express myself, and figure skating is different from other sports because you have the opportunity to be athletic but at the same time you can make it an art form and really present yourself in a different light, and not do things the same way that everyone else does. And that's just always been my philosophy on my skating, and I love being a little bit different than my competitors and it's nice. And I'm hopefully going to inspire younger skaters to be their own skater, and kind of march to their beat.
