"You have to wear something that's appropriate for your music and that's appropriate for the event you're at, but wearing sequins and stones, I wouldn't wear that in my clothing on an everyday basis so why would I wear it when I am competing?"
Most figure skating enthusiasts, Lysacek said, "think the definition of being dressy or dressing up is like having glitter all over you; to me that’s just such a joke."
"I think I'm bringing an element of style and showing that this is my idea of what a modern man should dress like and look like. It can still be stylish and it can still have some element of fashion, but [also] be masculine at the same time."
“With a simple costume, you can’t hide behind much,” Lysacek told the L.A. Times. “You have to dress up and have respect for the judges. You can’t just skate in sweats and a cap. But who said anything about spandex and sequins?”
"In skating, you never really show your body at all. You just have spandex on."
"I'm like the most shy person, and I button my collar all the way up to the top, so to wear [a mesh shirt] on national television was not the most comforting thing for me."
"The quad is the future of our sport...The "6.0" was such a huge brand for our sport and we lost that brand when we lost that system. One brand we have now is the quad; it's the only thing that's recognizable to anyone, whether they know skating or not...We're trying to take the sport to a whole new level."
“When people are desperately seeking attention, it’s just not appealing, and I don’t think it’s appealing to viewers or fans or potential sponsors-it just looks desperate.”
(Googling almost any of these quotes should bring up the article I took them from, but if you want context for anything and it won't come up, feel free to ask.)
