“The natural course of my skating career, of my painting career, of my life, has always been to run against the current. If others are
going downstream, I’m going upstream, leaping over waterfalls... That is the nature of the beast within me. If people think that I do it for effect, the truth, on the contrary, is that I’m following - and always have - my natural inclination.”
