We come from a similar place and we have very similar values, I think, in the way that we were raised in the way that we grew up.

And there's just that natural way that we respond to one another.

just from humble upbringings.

And then as we got into sports, we were both obviously very competitive.

Tara won so early and there's such a drive that you have to have to be able to accomplish that and hold all the pressure of the world on your shoulders.

And in my own way, I didn't win the Olympics like her, but in my own way, I dealt with a lot of pressure to be

to be the face of something when all I was trying to do was to be a skater and to be a great skater.

And I think figure skating and any professional level sport or Olympic level sport, it forces you into being flawless

And I think that both of us having been raised up in that and like, you're not allowed to fail.

There is no opportunity to fall down.

You cannot do something halfway.

I think that growing up in that gave us the opportunity to, as entertainers now and people that work in television now,

We can just try anything and take it on the chin.

And even if we're not great at it, we can laugh our way through it.

And it's taken a long time for me personally to learn how to do that.

Because, you know, to be a figure skater, you have to be a little bit of a perfectionist and a little bit competitive, at least.

And I think that the way that we embrace the world is often through hard work and preparation, but with humor.

Or what's the point?

And I think that that is similar to the way a lot of people live their lives.

There's so much pressure on people to be great, to be perfect, to win the bread, to hunt and gather, to do all of those things.
