Nothing like a good butt spin at Nationals.

Thank you, Sasha. I value that very much because I've known you longer than all these bitches.

We secured Sasha Uspenski to be kind of our head chorus girl.

I'm gonna have to be wowed by this place if I want to spawn a child here. The child being my Spectacular.

Now that I've decided to put on my own show, I look at these shows completely differently, not only as a skater but as a future producetress.

[Tara Modlin: Do you know that writing a book takes as much time and focus as ice skating competitively or producing a spectacular for example?]

I'm good at multitasking.

Figure skating is a bit dated – it’s like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time and I’m going to try to Chanel it up a little bit. My dream would be to have an aerialist come down from the ceiling, and only six of the best skaters that I love would be in the show. I’d have Lady Gaga performing on one end and Elton John performing on the other.

We’ll have strippers, contortionists, porn stars, singers, athletes. It evokes Berlin at night before the Second World War: painted ladies swinging on birdcage swings, beautiful men dancing and gyrating on each other up on top of buildings, and a gorgeous cabaret singer belting at the piano. That’s what I want. Just add some ice skating.

The goal is to do a show at Radio City Music Hall. The whole show will be about self-acceptance and self-beauty and what you see in yourself.
