I've never thought of the Olympics as a political statement. I really think a boycott ... is in the wrong as far as the athletes are concerned.

I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It's an amazing feeling.

Nothing shocks me anymore. I've embraced men in thongs, I've embraced women with padded bras. I mean, I can embrace Larry King saying 'fierce.'

When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.

You only live once. Life is a show

It's really grinding to always play out of both sides of your mind and always be thinking what will offend people. Or what won't. But I'm strong enough to deal with that. I own that I'm freakish in my way.

Anytime you get men in glitter, it's a flamboyant occasion!
