Society right now judges everything about your life and everything about who you are. Kids are awful to each other. My message is just to be strong enough to be yourself. I don't need to fit a mold. I don't need to fit into someone else's idea of what a figure skater, or a man, or someone from Pennsylvania, someone from the country now living in the city--I don't need to fit any of those molds.
