I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.

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 can choose what you believe, Shuffler, but you can't change what's true.

I can't really define it in sexual terms alone although our sexuality is so energizing why not enjoy it too?

I remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought; but it's been my experience that a good many more use it instead of thought.

To be nice to people and make them happy - that's my philosophy in life.

I dreamed night after night that everyone in the world was dead excepting myself, and that upon me rested the responsibility of making a wagon wheel.

One can say of language that it is potentially the only human home, the only dwelling place that cannot be hostile to man.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.

Clothing is . . . an exercise in memory. It makes me explore the past: how did I feel when I wore that. They are like signposts in the search for the past.
