I showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and I’m glad I learned from it.

I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.

I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.

I'm going to skate exactly the way I want to, create programs that I like, and everything will fall into place where it is supposed to.

I design all of my costumes. I like to go out there and feel like I have contributed to every part of what I do. I choose the music, the choreographer, I've obviously chosen my coach, my costumes - all if that falls under my realm of power, my realm of influence.

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

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