“I did a lot of work [on my artistry], more off the ice. I really just felt honestly a lot of difference here. I feel a lot more connected to the audience, more connected to the music... and trying to send my message out.”

I did a lot of just working off the ice and throughout the off season just trying to bring more emotions to my programs. I really just felt, honestly, a lot different skating out there than I did in previous years. I felt a lot more connected to the audience, a lot more connected to the music and the program itself. So I'm very happy with how it went.
The short program for me is a very sentimental, it's a very emotional piece. There's a lot of tragedy and a lot of negative stuff that happens in the world, and I think that a lot of this is not necessary, but we all have to remember that we have to all unite as one and really just try to seeing the light in every possible situation.
