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

I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.

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.

Out of ugly, make something beautiful.

I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I've done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve.

I drink Vitamin Water nonstop - I should have an IV.

Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.
