When you're able to be honest with yourself about who you are and finally can present your authentic true self to the world, you feel so much better about yourself, and it makes it easier for everyone else to feel better about you.

I would honestly say the biggest thing for cold weather is a good face moisturizer with SPF. Winters are harsh, wind chill's real, and, a lot of the time, it's a really dry climate, and so your lips will crack, your face will start to get dry, your nose will peel; it's easy to get sunburnt, windburnt.

I love Kim Chi the drag queen from 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' but I'm not sure about the food.

Growing up, I always wanted kids, and that was one of the things that made it hard for me to accept being gay, but now I know it's totally an option to have kids.

All I can really say is to encourage anybody who's in the closet to come out, and congratulate anyone who has.

I chose a public platform to come out. I wanted to have an impact with it.

I would probably say Breckenridge has the best park out of any resort. They build the best jumps, they have fun rails, and the pipe is well kept, too.

I always have at least one book with me. I try and read a book a month.

I think it's so important to have visibility and to break down stereotypes and stigmas and everything that people are so attached to.

I have the LGBT audience behind me, and there's all these people that I want to make proud, and I want to do well aside from just myself.

Competitors, even friends that would say things that were so homophobic, and - I don't think that they realized necessarily the impact that it was having on me, because I was in the closet, and I think that that's what made me really scared to come out.

It shows more courage to leave the house as a trans person than Trump has ever had to show.

Even if you're 'the gay guy,' if you're winning events, you're still winning events.

For anyone who says 'Who cares if you're gay? It's 2018,' well, a lot of people care because a lot of people had the opportunity to be out, and there's been a lot of fear surrounding it. This is the first time we're seeing representation, and because of that, it is a big deal.

I want to be the guy that's taking names, on the podium, and winning events.

You don't want to be defined by one thing. But at the same point... When you are the first in something, that's gonna kinda be the title that sticks. And after Sochi, I was, like, the dog guy. Now I'm the gay guy, and it's fine by me.

I've been through stretches of my life where I've been super focused on what I'm eating, and then you're on the road, and you end up eating a lot of carbs and tacos.
