Jamie Silverstein Quotations

Wow, I can't even talk. We really, really wanted it. I'm almost afraid to say how much we wanted it.

I don't know the system enough to be excited or disappointed.

I feel cool. I was surprised how relaxed I was.

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.

Overwhelming' is the only word that comes to mind.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.
