Patrick Chan: (about having won four times Skate Canada) "To tell the truth I do not keep track of these things either. I do my best to entertain audiences of all cities in Canada! "
(On the approach to the race) "I tried to deal with one thing at a time. To tell the truth before you get on the ice I was a bit 'nervous. And 'the free program, so it is very tiring for us, the best way to attack it is to see it as one element at a time, which can be applied also to the way of dealing with life. You have to deal with it day by day, you can not hasten your goals, you have to face to reach all the right steps to get there. "
(On the debut season). "I was nervous because this is my season debut on the international scene. This song was chosen by me, I myself was to cut the music and choose the parts that I love, I was excited to prove to you the public.'re the first to see it and I thank you for the appreciation shown.'m glad I took the time during the program to stop, smile at the audience, I've really enjoyed. "
(About the fact that the program is dedicated to his former coach, the late Osborne Colson) "The first time I skated on Vivaldi was in 2008 when I won my first national title and indeed I beat you (points to the interviewer, the former world champion Jeffrey Buttle), think a bit 'On this program I worked with David Wilson, we both shared the memories we have of him and made this program that reminds us a lot.
