Evgeni Plushenko Quotations

It was my dream when I was (four-years-old). I'm so happy with my scores. I did my job. It's not the best what I did today, but it was quite enough. I didn't have a lot of emotion. My fans know how emotional I can be.

It was my dream. When I was 4, I saw the competition and said to my mom, 'I have to be there.' I said that I wanted to be an Olympic champion.

I think I was born to be a figure skater, I think it was fate, and I thank God for letting it happen.

Viktor Petrenko and I met at a competition, where I beat him completely accidentally. I felt so embarrassed in front of my idol.

I can skate beautifully. While performing on ice I always try to please the audience and to win as well. Being artistic is very important to get the audience on your side. As for a competition, you can't win without strong technical content.

I'm a wealthy man now. I've got a flat, a car, I have enough money to buy food. I skate to make the people happy. If somebody skates to earn money, I don't care. I skate for the people. Besides, it's pleasant to supply Russia with gold medals.

I try not to think about marks, the first place or gold medal. The most important thing is to show what you are capable of on ice. The rest will come on its own.

At school I fought sometimes. Kids were saying that figure skating is sport for the girls. Then I had to prove them wrong.

This one doesn't exist. The prettiest girl and the best car don't exist as well.

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