I know I am delusional at times, but I'm not completely-out-of-touch delusional.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
It's totally crazy! I can't believe all the young kids doing it in competition now. It's pretty unbelievable to have an element variation named after me.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I love being on Twitter and interacting with different people. Also, I very dangerously love to go shopping online!
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I feel so honored that I've had the opportunity to share my story with so many people.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
Given this platform of being an Olympic athlete, I think it's really important that we stand up for what we believe in, and we speak out against things that we think are wrong and injust.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
Athletes are given a really special platform. It's our duty, as athletes, to be role models.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I always loved music, to dance, and to be really active. When I started skating, it was the first time all of these things came together. It felt like magic, and I always wanted to be at the rink.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I remember my mom let me stay up late and watch Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan compete in the 1998 Olympic Games. I made paper medals and wore them the whole night. I didn't start skating until 2000, but I was so inspired by their skating that it was why I wanted to start.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
My earliest memory of the Olympics was watching the 1996 Games in Atlanta. I remember everyone being so excited to watch. Seeing the American athletes on the podium, I saw myself. I knew that that was what I wanted to do. I wanted to be one of those athletes on the podium representing their country and bringing home medals.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
As soon as I broke my foot, I remember thinking that I'm going to make this the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I'm just one of those people that, if there's a problem, I want to work through it. Push through it and do everything I can. Anything.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
When I am home in L.A., I love to stop by a yoga class or Soul Cycle session. There is nothing like doing some cycling in the dark to club music and candle light.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
Being gay is not something that defines me. What defines me is what my mom always taught me: to treat everyone with respect, to always be a hard worker, and to be kind.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
1988 Olympic Champion Brian Boitano was famous for doing a Lutz with one arm over his head. And I wanted to build on that.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I've never made a meal that I wasn't able to eat, but it that doesn't mean anyone else would ever eat it, haha!
Quote by -Adam Rippon
As a self-proclaimed cooking disaster, I try to makes things that I think I can easily master.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
First and foremost, I'm an athlete. And I'm an Olympian. I'm not a gay Olympian. I'm just an Olympian that's also gay. I don't mind reading that - like, 'gay Olympian Adam Rippon.' It's fine. I hope that, in a way, it makes it easier for other young kids who are gay. If they go to the Olympics, they can just be called Olympians.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
For such a long time in my life, I didn't trust my own voice at all. I always tried to do what other people wanted.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I realize now that it's important that I share my story... Also, it'll be easy for me to do an interview, to interact with people.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I really brought that with me: that people think gay people are disgusting... I remember thinking, 'Okay, I might be gay. But I won't tell anybody. Nobody will ever know.'
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I personally don't have anything to say to Mike Pence. I'm very lucky because legislation that he's pushed hasn't affected my life at all. I spoke out because there are people out there whose lives have been affected by change that he's tried to make.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
When you're not hiding anything, it's just very easy to be yourself - shockingly.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
Representing the U.S.A. is one of the greatest honors of my life, and being able to do it as my authentic self makes it all so much sweeter.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I've used my sense of humor as a coping tool. It's gotten me through a lot of challenging times.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I usually finish things in the last second. But I think, as I've gotten older, I don't worry about it, and I just rock it.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
If I forgot to put something on, and I have to wear a trash bag, I'm just like, 'I'm gonna rock a trash bag today.'
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I'm really go-with-the-flow, but I take things really seriously. At the same time, when things don't go my way, I don't ever freak out. Why? Why freak out?
Quote by -Adam Rippon
I don't want my Olympic experience to be about Mike Pence. You know, I want it to be about my amazing skating and being America's sweetheart.
Quote by -Adam Rippon
Sometimes I'll be listening to NPR at the gym, and I'll hear them say, 'Oh, Donald Trump did this today.' And I'm like, 'What?' All of a sudden, I have more energy than if I drank an espresso.
