Despite the usual idea of a figure skater, I have no rhythm when it comes to even walking off the ice. I fall off curbs all the time.

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

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

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

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.

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

Don't bring a prop. It's almost like they were afraid nobody would know who they are.
