Communications technology changes possibilities for communication, but that doesn't mean it changes the inherited structure of the brain.

I always thought after 2002 that I'd hang up my skates and turn professional and just go on tour and do shows. But I don't know when it is enough. I mean, I still enjoy it. I'm the luckiest girl alive that I get to perform in front of thousands of people, do what I love doing. Michelle Kwan
