I have been a figure skater for so long that when I stopped that competitive day-to-day grind, I didn't know what to do with myself. I don't know how the world works outside of being barked at by a Ukrainian woman and watching my weight.

That's something that at the end of the day, I know even if I make everyone angry and say things that nobody likes, my mom will still support what I said because I said it. She thinks its funny when I say crazy things in the media. She doesn't take it that seriously.

I'm an ice skater. I'm all about the glitter.

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

I've been landing at least one quad every day in practice. I want to do it, for me more than for anything else. It's an element I've been missing and chasing for a long time.

Music is fun, but I'm an ice skater. I may sing songs and do shows, make movies and other things... that's all well and good and I enjoy it, and I would never trade any of those for anything. But figure skating is who I am.
