I wish I was more like my character. In character, I am the queen. I am strong. I am confident, sometimes cocky. I’m hard to beat. Out of character, I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a best friend and just the girl next door that likes Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
The most evocative food smell is American seaside food – tuna melts and cookie dough ice cream, or the British version, fish and chips and toffee apples.
A few years after I finished skating, someone asked where my medals were. I’m like, ‘In a suitcase somewhere.’ Now they’re nicely displayed in an ice rink, but medals don’t really mean that much. It’s the experience, the story of the skating, the love.
Without strength and courage it’s really hard to perform at the highest levels of international figure skating, because you’re alone on the ice and you only have seven minutes over two nights to prove yourself.
I didn’t play basketball because I’d learned how to ice skate.
We can’t manipulate some stars while maintaining other stars as controls; we can’t start and stop ice ages, and we can’t experiment with designing and evolving dinosaurs.
If you had no Eazy-E, you got no N.W.A., no Dr. Dre, no Ice Cube, no Tupac Death Row years… no Bone Thugs. No Aftermath, no 50 Cent, no Eminem – the way we know them. The branch that is called Eazy-E on the Hip Hop tree is massive.
My indulgences are Skittles and rum raisin ice cream.
I miss being able to just hang out with people and friends and grab ice cream or go to the cinema… the normal stuff.
We have the finest officers in the world, but it seems like once they become generals it is a self-licking ice cream cone of who gets promoted and who gets approved to join that club. No one thinks outside the box.
I don’t know if there’s any sport that’s stupid, but I really don’t understand curling. I guess I’m just not into brooms on ice.
If you don’t know a lot about figure skating, it’s easy to fall in love with ice dancing because it’s so romantic and so theatrical.
I believe Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was… a large Arctic region covered with ice.
I wasn’t strong enough to have an eating disorder. I tried to go anorexic for a good three hours. I ate ice and celery, but that’s not even anorexic. And I quit. I was like, ‘Ma, can you make me a sandwich? Like, immediately.’
I’ve always had a longstanding dream, ever since I was a kid, where I was running on a big lake of ice and I kept running and kept running, just about to where I was trying to get to, and I fell through the ice, and then I couldn’t find the hole where I fell through to get back out again.
In the two million years during which we climbed from stone-tool-wielding Homo erectus with sloping brows to high-foreheaded Homo urbanis – man, the inventor of the city – we underwent 60 glaciations, 60 ice ages.
I guess I’d be nervous to skate and do hockey. Growing up in Hawaii there’s not a lot of ice.
I never want to hurt anyone on the ice. That’s not the type of player I am.
I always knew where I was going eventually, so it helped me to stay at home for three years. It helped me to develop my game. But it also helped me off the ice. Life here is way different, and I was able to get older.
I do like going to the movies, but I like eating tons of sweets and ice cream, so I can’t go to the movies anymore.
The noise resembles the roar of heavy, distant surf. Standing on the stirring ice one can imagine it is disturbed by the breathing and tossing of a mighty giant below.
No other teammates can help you when you’re on the ice by yourself against the clock. So I decided that if I’m going to race on my own, I’m going to train on my own.
Whole watermelons will keep in the fridge for about a week with no negative consequences for the texture or flavor, while cut pieces are best eaten within three days. When serving watermelon as part of a buffet or outdoors, always keep the cut pieces on ice for a cold and refreshing treat.
I’m a student of Ice Cube and Scarface, which means the stuff I rap about is not radio-friendly, and it’s very opinionated. and it’s very much from the perspective of a black man in America, and our opinion ain’t always popular when we have a political opinion.
I think shows like ‘Dancing on Ice,’ ‘X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ make great telly, but I’d never want to be contestant. I’m far too insecure and competitive. Also, working in theatre, you’re being judged all the time – and I’d rather not be told I’m awful in front of millions of people!
Ice ages have come and gone. Coral reefs have persisted.
My father is a Marine. My brother is a Marine. I almost became a Marine. I’m no stranger to fight training. I used to do jujitsu and boxing as a kid. I was a running back in football for my high school and my college. I played ice hockey as well as did theater. So, there’s always been a physical nature to me.
