athlete games earth
I love the Olympic Games. The Olympics are an event that few can fathom but all can enjoy, and that's why athletes work our whole lives to put on the greatest show on Earth.
men glitter occasions
Anytime you get men in glitter, it's a flamboyant occasion!
sleep hands names
There are some things I keep sacred. My middle name. Who I sleep with. And what kind of hand moisturizer I use.
strong thinking play
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.
cheer elements way
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.
beautiful ugly something-beautiful
Out of ugly, make something beautiful.
athletic skating artistic
Figure skating is theatrical. It's artistic. It's elegant. It's extremely athletic. And there's a very specific audience for that.
athlete gay thinking
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.
cooking want proud
I'm going to be a happy housewife. I'm going to be washing boxers and cooking and doing all those sorts of housewife duties. I just want to be happy and proud of every single day.
writing community fickle
The skating community is very fickle. And with me, they're especially fickle for whatever reason. Maybe I bring it on myself, but if you don't prove yourself and you don't skate consistently, then they can very easily write you off and bring somebody from behind you and put them in your place.
letting-go army march
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.’
winning perfect lucky
Nobody gets lucky all the time. Nobody can win all the time. Nobody's a robot. Nobody's perfect.
strong thinking fierce
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.
warrior people way
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.
