I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.

I’ve held onto Ugg boots. I will never graduate to Crocs, but Ugg boots are always and forever. That’s my fashion stepchild.

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.

It's of very little importance to me that I was born gay. It doesn't make me a better athlete, it doesn't make me a stronger person, it doesn't really do anything to enhance my life. It's just something I was born with, the same as green eyes.

Nobody gets lucky all the time. Nobody can win all the time. Nobody's a robot. Nobody's perfect.

The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.

I got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.
