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.

No mother wants to hear her son say he's gay. Those two words rip the picture of a daughter-in-law and grandchildren into pieces. I felt sorry for my mom and wanted her to know everything was going to be all right. But then she said, 'I don't really care, Johnny, as long as I know that you are going to be happy.'

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'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'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'd say in general, my style is Johnny Weir style. It's my style. I can't classify it as anything else.

That makes me think of spandex-covered football players. It's not me. I'm in rhinestones and velvet, not spandex.
