In the '80s I went into rehab. Then I tore my knee skiing and I was turned on to painkillers. And doctors give them out regularly. (Grey Jane)

I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it. (Grey Jane)
I concentrate on exercises from the waist down, since that is the laziest part of a woman's body. (Grey Jane)

It was only cool to have blond hair and be a surfer chick in Sydney. I could learn how to surf, but I still looked Italian. It took me a long time to realize that was a good thing. (Grey Jane)
I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me. (Grey Jane)
I also admired Edwin Moses because he was so dominant in his sport for so many years, and always so humble and graceful about it. (Grey Jane)
The concept of building self-esteem in the gay community through sports was something I definitely could relate to. (Grey Jane)

I keep my skates. My Olympic skates are still in my closet! (Grey Jane)
I think the ISU should open up the rules for all the professionals to skate more so that they can contribute along with the amateurs to the sport of figure skating. (Grey Jane)
No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody. (Grey Jane)
When I'm on the ice, I like being Oksana, and not imitate other skater's music. (Grey Jane)
I do all of my own riding. I've had good stunt men working with me over the years. They make things look better than they really are. (Grey Jane)
