Quotes by Sarah Hughes

I think it was a great moment for America to have two ladies on the podium.

I think what every skater dreams of is not only skating the best program they can possibly skate, but, y'know, having the crowd roar at the end, and it was just so loud I couldn't even hear my music.

I wear my Peggy Fleming T-shirt when I go to sleep every night before I compete, and for the past four years, it's brought me incredible good luck.

It's really ironic that I won, because that's not the goal that I had in mind when I went out to skate.

When I first came here, I thought, wouldn't it be great to get a medal, and I was third last year at Worlds, and it was a huge step up for me, and it was just a huge moment in my life, and, y'know, once I got here, it really didn't matter any more to me. I just wanted to go out and enjoy the experience. I wanted to skate.

When I started my program... there was a big clock in the corner and I looked and it said nine o'clock exactly. And it was funny, because when I was standing on the podium, it said exactly 10 p.m., and this whole hour had changed my life.
