- Appreciate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you're able to love and appreciate and take pride with yourself, that makes everything easier. It makes it easier to train, it makes it easier to be in the gym, and it makes it easier for everyone else to accept and love you.

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

I realize how fortunate I am to have been able to make a life and career out of skiing.

Jet lag is tough, to be honest. For me, it's much easier to force yourself to stay awake.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love Kim Chi the drag queen from 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' but I'm not sure about the food.
- Because
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't even ski halfpipe until I was 14 because the resort where I lived didn't have one. So it wasn't always my favorite event, but I grew into it.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't listen to music when I ski - I find it distracting - but I will sing to myself before I go to just get my mind out of what I'm doing and relax a little bit.
- Best

- Nov 07, 2020
I've gotten a lot of messages from kids struggling with their identity and sexuality, whether it's because they're in a religious family or a small town or a sport that's not very accepting. I've had a ton of outreach, and I've tried to get back to kids as best I could.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always felt like I had something to prove, like I had to work twice as hard to make sure I got it. I knew I didn't want to be a good skier. I wanted to be the best.
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was insecure and ashamed. Unless you're gay, being gay has never been looked at as being cool. And I wanted to be cool.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really have a specific Olympic crush. There were a couple of guys during the Olympics in Sochi that were super fit. And during the summer games, any of the sports where people have their shirts off if they're diving or swimming or whatever, it's like eye candy.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The world that I would want to get into would be acting. In the beginning, I would do stuff as myself if I had the opportunity to host events - host, like, a talk show. Something like that, I think, would be super amazing.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not one of those people who can eat whatever I want and never go to the gym. I have to work hard for any results I see.
- Memory
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think you necessarily have to be crazy-fit for freeskiing. So much of the sport has to do with agility and nimbleness and flexibility and other things. It's a lot of muscle memory - it's more like dance, in a way - it's technique more than strength or endurance.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've had knee trouble, and I worry about my shoulder, but I think my weakest link is my head. A helmet can only do so much, and I have seen the effects of brain injuries. That is a big fear. I think everyone's weakest link is their brain because it's their most fragile link.
- Body Image
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have felt so insecure about my body at times. I've been on every end of the spectrum. I felt like I was too skinny and wished I could be muscular. I've felt like I was chubby and wanted to be skinny. I think everybody suffers from body image issues. I might exude confidence sometimes, but I'm pretty insecure.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was in the closet, I had so much pressure on my shoulders. When I came out, that was actually the first moment I felt relieved of those stresses. It really showed in my skiing.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's so important to have visibility and to break down stereotypes and stigmas and everything that people are so attached to.
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, as a kid, I always felt like being gay was something that was going make people turn on me.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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 Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm proud to be from a country where I can speak up.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not super superstitious, but if I listen to a song and then I do well, then that becomes my song for however long it works for.
- Genuine
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Since I came out of the closet, I've gotten to just really be myself and feel authentic and honest and genuine. It's just been a huge relief for me competitively.
- Mom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mom has been there for me in moments where I definitely needed her the most, and she has this inherent way of knowing exactly what to say and exactly how to talk to me, whatever the situation.
- Gay
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The only way to really change perceptions, to break down barriers, break down homophobia, is through representation. That's definitely not something I had as a kid. I never saw a gay athlete kissing their boyfriend at the Olympics. I think if I had, it would've made it easier for me.

Having an Olympic medal validates that you can be a successful freeskier... It's like a credential that sticks with you the rest of your life.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hopefully, it gets to a point where, down the line, people don't have to come out.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think that one thing defines me, but I know that by coming out the way that I did, sort of almost pioneering it in action sports - to take that stand - that it's always going to be a label that is stuck with me, and I know that I'll always be the 'gay skier,' and it actually doesn't bother me.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the Olympics are a time for the world to come together and put aside differences, but we're also coming to represent ourselves, our communities, and our countries, so I think it's important to stand up and be a voice.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Bread
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My diet doesn't change regardless of whether or not I'm competing. It's not that strict, either. I try not to eat too much dessert or too many sugary things, like bread or pasta. But I'm not crazy, and I'll eat pasta if that's what someone if making. It's all about trying to find a balance and eat healthy.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thought of being the first openly gay male ever to compete in the Winter Olympics - I totally embrace that.
- Lie
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was so stressed in the closet. In an interview, I was scared they were going to ask me about a crush, or the type of girl I liked, or whatever it was. And I was going to have to lie by omission. It was always in the back of my mind.

Miley Cyrus followed me, tweeted at me. We started messaging; we traded numbers. She's become like a friend. She's super supportive of me being gay.

- Nov 07, 2020
Someone coming out as gay shouldn't be newsworthy; it shouldn't be warranting a magazine cover or anything like that, which I had as my story for coming out.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If people are hiding their sexuality, they don't really get their full selves, so you can sometimes feel like you're presenting sort of like a fogged version of yourself.

My family's dog, when I was growing up, was an adopted dog that I got in a shelter for my birthday. I've always felt really strongly about adopting animals and trying to save animals' lives.
- Big
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are so many animals in shelters that need homes. Rather than going to a breeder and buying a dog, or a puppy mill or anything like that, I've always been a big fan of adoption.
