I've never thought of the Olympics as a political statement. I really think a boycott ... is in the wrong as far as the athletes are concerned.

Out of ugly, make something beautiful.

Nothing shocks me anymore. I've embraced men in thongs, I've embraced women with padded bras. I mean, I can embrace Larry King saying 'fierce.'

Finding someone to share your life with is one of the most important things a human can do and was preached to me by my mother.

When you have an audience standing and screaming the entire way through the short program and cheering every element you do, whether it's footwork, or spin, or a jump, to have that kind of emotion coming at you from every direction in the building, it's the most amazing sensation you can get as a sportsman.

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

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

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.

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

I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.

The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?

I'm a tough person. I wasn't afraid of other kids because I understood that someday they'd wash my car.

In figure skating, your body can only last for so long. I can't be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.

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

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

My family, the support of my friends, the amount of people that have written and come up to me on the street and said, 'Thank you for representing us,' and Adam Lambert, and Lady Gaga, that's been amazing.

Creating emotion was what my career was all about. I wanted people to laugh at me I wanted people to cry with me. I wanted people to feel good or to think about something when they watched me. I think that's why, even not being an Olympic champion, I have such a huge following around the world.

Being in the public eye is part of what I do, and taking on a multitude of different projects - television, radio, fashion, writing or deep-sea diving - is a blessing. It is also how I pay my bills and fund my own skating, as I don't have a sponsor or financial help from my federation.

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.

I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.
