Kurt Browning Quotations

Doing shows is always a side of skating that I've loved, it's the performing. I get to do that without the pressure, it's always fun between the skaters and the preparation, the show is always so much fun.

Michael Weiss and Todd Eldredge and I all competed against each other. Even though Im older than them, we did cross over a little bit.

Four world titles is a good swath at the top of the podium. The Olympics didn't work out for a couple of reasons, but it feels good when people say 'four world titles.'

I have been performing and touring and doing shows all over the world. But it's really something special to get back on the U.S. cast of 'Stars on Ice.' It's something I let go because of family commitments.

I love how my sport reaches out to people with the music and story lines, the glory of standing up for three or four minutes of tough, arduous, gravity-defying skating and all the stuff that goes with it.

What I really wanted was to perform. So if it took four world titles or one Olympic medal, I just wanted so badly to be able to perform. So it doesn't hinder me sleeping at night that I don't have an Olympic medal.

My dad gave up a vacation in Florida for this.Trust me, for him that's amazing.

I was shocked. John Nicks was ... so mean, but he's so funny. I just didn't think he was going to take that role.

I would have quoted my dad who said, 'You're the luckiest kid in the world because you're doing for a living what you did as a kid. You make in a year what I made in my life and, if you let it go to your head I'll kick you with my cowboy boots on.

Just watching as a kid, I never thought I would reach this level so soon and I would actually get to do this stuff.

If you don't bring it, you'll have to file a provisional ballot.

Canadians are a warm crowd, they are never bias. When they see a good performance, doesn't matter who it is, they'll stand up.

Sometimes my skating allows me to do things I never dreamed possible.

I continued a legacy of great skating from this country and I was able to capitalize on the reputation of the Canadian skaters that came before me. I especially mean Brian Orser.

There are only so many skaters like Brian Orser. Nobody is going to just step into his shoes.

Nothing dumb ever starts out stupid.

All those hours spent alone on the rink is where a skater's strength comes from. That's where a standing ovation starts and if you don't want to be there, it is going to show. Nothing you dreamed about is going to happen if you forget why you started in the first place. You have to skate with you heart. Before anyone can believe in you, you have to believe in yourself.
