I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.
From Johnny Weir
I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.
I'd say in general, my style is Johnny Weir style. It's my style. I can't classify it as anything else.
Figure skating is theatrical, and a part of it is wearing costumes. My costumes were very over-the-top and outrageous for figure skating. But for me, it's all beautiful. Even when nobody else believed they were beautiful, I felt beautiful in them.
I don't take on a project unless I know the end result is going to make me happy. If I can't give 100 percent to something, I choose not to do it because it's very difficult to have so many pots on the fire at one time.
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
I feel like at the Olympics I gave the best performance of my life and I wasn't rewarded for that as an athlete. Yes, my fans and my mom were happy about it, but I didn't win that gold medal.
Figure skating is a bit dated - it's like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time, and I'm going to try to Chanel it up a little bit.
I wouldn't participate in 'Stars on Ice' if I were asked. I find it an amateurish tour in a way, the production quality.
When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.
