It's sorta like when you're young and you say, "Hey mom, look, no hands!" when you're riding your bike. It's that kind of difficulty added to a skating jump.

That thing when you catch your dad yelling at the commentator on tv and YOU are the commentator on tv.

I just wish people would love each other and take care of each other. Life is so short, why waste time on hating or becoming a victim? If you put out love, love comes back to you. Love a stranger, love a co-worker, love your mother. Just love people.

Who knew that the banana's not only great for potassium and cramps, but could also save your grandmother from an imminent wolf attack?

My mom went out shopping today.--Hi, Mom!--She's for sure going to see this.--She went out shopping today, and she bought me what I can only call a light oatmeal pair of biker shorts. And reading between the family lines I think she's frustrated that I'm still single.

I just want to yell at him "lift with your legs!" Like when my dad's yelling at me about lifting my luggage.

You should see my dad. He's like Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street, like a big feather boa.

The man I’ve grown into is a human that embraces the strength of the man & woman who raised me to be myself. If you feel squashed by the boot of someone else’s beliefs, remember you are free to live your life the way YOU believe. Also, religion isn’t an excuse for hate.

The above tweet was a response to Jenna Ellis' insulting tweet about Johnny's masculinity because of what he wore to the Tokyo Olympic's closing ceremony:

You want grandma to be happy when she's into her third whiskey and those shoes are off.

Basically any couch pattern that you can see at grandma's house and throw it on a dress, the busier the better, it's all on trend.

A great joy in my life is that my father finds it safest to call any garment I put on my body, really ANY garment, a smock. Tuxedo? Smock.

Finished unpacking for the day. I think I've finally determined my decoration style. Rococo Regal Rustic with a touch of Grandma's thong.

[Nick McCarvel: In 2006, what was the number one song on the U.S. charts when you went to the Olympics?]

Um...[long pause]...See I'm that person that'll hear a Rhianna  song like a year after it was popular, and I think it's cool. I'm your grandmother. Welcome to me being a grandmother. I feel like if it wasn't, it should have been...The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand. 

[Nick McCarvel: Well, it wasn't quite that year. It was Beyoncé Check On It. What about in 2010? Do you remember 2010 when you went to the Olympics in Vancouver? What were you jamming out to?]

A lot of Russian techno-pop. But if it wasn't, it should have been The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand.

It doesn't make a difference to me that my life is splashed in newspapers, or if it was just for my parents to see what I was going through. It hurts all the same.

When I'm thirty years old I don't want to look back at Priscilla, someone I see more than my own mother, and remember her as a coach. I will remember her as my friend and someone who was always there for me no matter what, and in my opinion, that's what a good coach should be.

There is nothing lovable about that child or her family. At least I’m a little bit lovable. They scare the sh*t out of me, those people.

My mother, for example, was trying to suggest that I wear a linen pant. And first of all, I’m not a fan of linen. Second of all, it wrinkles so terribly that by the end of the day, your butt looks, you know, like a walnut or something.

[F]or me, as far as activism and trying to fix something in the world? If I was to donate that time for myself to fixing anything, it would be my own situation in America. There's still a huge portion of the country I'm still not seen as an equal human to my best friend or my mother, and I think that needs to change before America can go around bossing the rest of the world around.

It just got too hard, honestly. I had the option of choosing a happy life or to be alone for more time and completely alienate everybody and all of my friends and family once again, to diet like crazy, to get yelled at every day. It is all worth it, but there comes a time in your life when you have to decide what's next.
