It’s very exciting to be here, but at the same time, we have to work extra hard to keep our emotions under control.

This is absolutely amazing. We really feel this medal belongs to a lot of people who put in years and years of support. And for the teams that came before us and put in years...

I think the moment we saw the flag rising was the one we did not allow ourselves to even imagine.

We were much looser. I love the Latin dance, it’s my favorite program and to skate like that was fantastic.

This whole season we really had our sights set on the world championships because we didn’t think we would be able to be here. They were our main goal, and we’re looking forward to improving...

It’s been one of the most exciting things for us to see, in the years that we’ve been competing, the level of interest growing, crowds being bigger.

This has been a very up and down year with our emotions. We were not even sure we’d be here, and to now be here and with this medal around our necks is amazing.

I really feel this medal belongs not just to us, but to a lot of people who put in a lot of hard work and weren’t able to break through. We were very inspired by...

It came down really to a question of logistics. Having our coach and our training facility here in Michigan, this just made much more sense.

It’s been a very up and down (few) years with emotions. To now be here and have a medal around our neck is just amazing.

We never get the opportunity to compete in compulsories with that kind of an audience.

All the ups and downs have really made us appreciate what we have now all the more. We’re just absolutely thrilled, and we couldn’t be happier.

She’s lived in the U.S. for eight years now. So really, this was more of a formality.

We tried to catch up on sleep. We’re slightly exhausted. It’s good to catch up a little on sleep. Then it’s back to training and getting ready for the World Championships.

It doesn’t seem like very long ago that we were the new kids on the block, and really tried to claw our way up from the rear of the pack, so it’s a very exciting...

We really feel this medal belongs to a lot of people who have come before us and who have put in years and years of dedication. We definitely wouldn’t be here without those people. They’ve...

Since we’ve gotten back, a lot of kids have come to the rink. It’s really special to feel that we may be helping to inspire future skaters and future champions.

That question fills me with euphoria. We don’t want to bog ourselves down with thinking too much. We want to go and enjoy the experience.

It’s been an up-and-down year of emotions. We didn’t know if we’d be here.

We’re slightly exhausted from the whole experience.

We feel the pressure, but we felt that at the world championships last year, when no American team had ever won silver. We came through there, and we think we can do it again at...

I really feel that this medal belongs to a lot of people who put in years and years of hard work and dedication in this sport; the teams who came before us and were never...

It’s always a surprise when the numbers come up. You don’t know what to expect.

We really looked up to Jamie and Justin, because they paved the way for us as the up-and-coming U.S. team. It’s an unbelievable accomplishment for Jamie to come back.

We knew there were seven or eight teams with a chance of making the podium, and the new system allows for unpredictability. I feel this medal belongs to a lot of people who built the...

We always try to keep our mind-set on only the things we can control in our performance.

We felt like we skated pretty well and we got good marks. And we’re looking forward to better performances on Sunday (original dance) and Monday (free dance).

The new system allows for some of that unpredictability.

Well, Chicago’s a great town; what can I say? It has a lot of diversity. You can find so many different kinds of people there. It breeds a certain self-confidence and a willingness to work...

Definitely. We’re still young in our career.

This is an extremely close competition and this is the first time we’ve been in a competition that is so close. It makes everything count all that much more.

We weren’t sure that we were even going to be here. To now be here and have a medal around our neck, it’s amazing.

That’s going to make us feel right at home. We’re lucky to have so many good skaters to work with.
