The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

And the fact that I liked to show off and be the center of attention really lends itself to figure skating very well.

Male figure skating is different than female figure skating; we're not America's sweetheart.

And so figure skating was a great vehicle for me to kind of be competitive at something, without having to be big.

The high road is always respected. Honesty and integrity are always rewarded.

Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is priceless.

For the most part, it is really nice when people come up to me, because I do think that people who are awkward relate to me, and that's really nice. It's generally good.

A man's weaknesses may intrude on his faith but they do not diminish it.
