"When I think of Ben's best quality, I don't even begin on the ice, because his best features to me are to do with his endlessly funny and loving personality. Of course his talents in skating are things everyone can see, but his intelligence, musical gifts, and depth of character are just a few of the qualities that only a lucky few of us get to know." -Tanith Belbin

“We definitely think we are on a roll now. We feel very lucky and we caught a wave and will ride it as far as we can. And that is a rare thing to catch in this sport. So we are very happy to keep going where we are headed.”
