Quotes from Scott Moir

We build programs with points in mind.

It's funny to look back - Tessa was seven and I was nine. I remember there wasn't a lot of talking at the beginning. We were terrified to hold hands for quite a while.

Tessa's hilarious. I think it's one of the things that gets overlooked because she's always so pulled together, but she has the best sense of humor.

We have the biggest title in the sport and we wanted to make sure that we pushed ourselves and experimented with the sport and I think we've done that.

Tessa and I, what we'd like to be - it's so hard to evaluate ourselves - when we're training, focusing on things, it's about a man and a woman, what we create between each other, working off each other.

We have nothing but fond memories from Sochi.

We're always telling stories, we're supposed to be reacting, a man and woman on the ice, it's romantic.

We were made for each other, in a work relationship. There's real love there. We're so proud of the business relationship we have.

On a short program, you've got to be tight and you've got to make sure that you get all your points.

My first love was hockey, but it seemed the more I skated and danced with Tessa, the more I fell in love with the sport.

In ice dance, the practices are huge. The judges are there, they're talking. Your judge is trying to sell you to the other countries' judges - 'Look at that lift, they have tons of speed' - and you have to be on.

I would say that how we want to be remembered is by inspiring the next generation, and that goes for Canadians and anyone in the world. Hopefully ice dance has come to a new level.

One of the benefits of training in America is that we can go out and there isn't that hype.

As Canadians, we were born on the ice. We think we're the best in the world.

We had a whole bunch of perks after the Olympic games like having dinner with the Queen of England and being hosted by the Prince of Monaco. We got to drop pucks at hockey games. We got to go on quite a tour.

It's kind of edgy, but you do have this emotional connection to it. It gives you goosebumps, it makes you feel something every day in training. That 'Moulin Rouge' soundtrack does that for us.

We'd love to have a perfect scoresheet at the Olympic Games, but at the same time we always find we skate well when we think about our feeling and our performance, and just being connected to each other.

At Skate Canada, we have a history of very professional judging that's very fair, and we're proud of that.

I want to inspire the next generation of athletes, not just figure skaters.

Obviously, the skaters in generations before us didn't have the opportunity to win multiple medals at an Olympic Games. We recognize that.

I mean, Patrick Chan, you could make the argument he's the best skater that ever was.

I kind of thought like many skaters, 'aw, I'm not going to coach, I've already spent my 22 years in the rink.'

I would never even think about skating with somebody else. The whole reason I wanted to come back to skating was to be close to Tessa again, and to share those moments.

That's what we love to do and I think our skating's at it's best when we do that: when we draw people in and hopefully make them feel something.
