The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?

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

I love the Olympic Games. The Olympics are an event that few can fathom but all can enjoy, and that's why athletes work our whole lives to put on the greatest show on Earth.

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

If just one person, one child who is made to feel isolated, looks at me and sees that it is okay to be your own person and walk down your own path, then everything I have ever gone through will be worth it.

I am often criticized for spending too much time off the ice, but if you were in my shoes, you'd see how necessary it is.

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.
