Out of ugly, make something beautiful.

Finding someone to share your life with is one of the most important things a human can do and was preached to me by my mother.

I'm not commercial, I'm not for Special K cereal and I'm not a Wheaties boy; I'm a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more out there.

I'm a huge fur fan; it's no secret to anyone anymore.

There are some things I keep sacred. My middle name. Who I sleep with. And what kind of hand moisturizer I use.

I feel like at the Olympics I gave the best performance of my life and I wasn't rewarded for that as an athlete. Yes, my fans and my mom were happy about it, but I didn't win that gold medal.

Figure skating is theatrical, and a part of it is wearing costumes. My costumes were very over-the-top and outrageous for figure skating. But for me, it's all beautiful. Even when nobody else believed they were beautiful, I felt beautiful in them.
