To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.

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.

I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It's an amazing feeling.

I'm a huge fur fan; it's no secret to anyone anymore.

I have always thought that being a good American is appreciating the world, not just your own country.

I'm going to be a happy housewife. I'm going to be washing boxers and cooking and doing all those sorts of housewife duties. I just want to be happy and proud of every single day.

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