I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.

I grew my beard out a little bit just to show that indeed I am a man.

I will be 60 or 70 years old still rocking my Chanel blazer with my hair all coiffed.

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

I played soccer, and I was the kid who ran the wrong way, or I was pretending to be some sort of zebra and I would flail my arms and kick up my legs.

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

We are each an army of one. March forward with your army, never let go of your future and never listen to idiots who tell you ‘no.’

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

To sum up my idea of on-ice costume fashion sense, it's probably that too much is never enough.

I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I'm a strong person and a strong individual. And that's what I take with me every day.

You only live once. Life is a show

When I reach my mountain top I will step off and follow the clouds all the way to the top of the world.Once there, I'll probably keep going.Who knows?Perhaps I will meet God along the way.

Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.

One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.

Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.

Life is too meaningful to die.

What goes on between a father and a son, which is usually such a private matter, is that they are able to be honest with each other, and be honest with me, as a director. Its just remarkable.

I have often said that it doesn't matter to me if a student tells me he is a leader of the left, unless he is a good student. We need good students.

People always say I'm a legend, but I'm not. Not until I've defended my Olympic titles. That's when I've decided I'll be a legend.

I write about what I know and what I have experienced. This keeps me an "honest" writer.

Good company, good wine, good welcome, can make good people.
