Interview: 'I Know The People Who Love Me'

What do you touch?
It depends. When I go to the rink to practice it's the door. At a competition it could be a door, it could be the wall of the rink. It could be anything.

How long have you been doing that?
Since last year in the summertime.

What is the toll the furor over the Kerrigan assault case has had on you?
It's a lot of pressure, but I work better under pressure.

Can you talk about the pressure you're under?
I have a lot of people who are supporting me. My biggest supporter right now is Stephanie Quintero. She holds my chin up. [Harding is staying with Quintero and her husband.]

Have you ever worked with a sports psychologist?
Yes I have.

Are you working with one now?
No. Unfortunately my psychologist died.
