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.

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

I'm not commercial, I'm not for Special K cereal and I'm not a Wheaties boy I'm a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more out there.

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.

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 got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.

In spite of all the skills that I do have, to relate to the normal world I have no applicable skills. I can speak Russian, I can speak French. I know about Chanel. Especially vintage Chanel. I know what Halston is. All of these things, but they can't really be applied to a nine-to-five.

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

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.

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 good when I’m alone. I’m comfortable when I’m alone. I can sit and do lots of things all by myself. Sex included.

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.

I'm different, and I have to be a warrior to be that way. But I have had some success I hope I have touched the lives of some wonderful people, all by being what I see as myself but some others people see as different.

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.

I am often criticized for spending too much time off the ice, but if you were in my shoes, you'd see how necessary it is.

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

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