from Michelle
question: Hi Johnny. I just wanted to let you are one of the best things ever to happen to figure skating! Between your amazing artistic abilities and your honesty about COP, I believe you truly have the power to change the face of the sport! My question to you is: It must take a lot of traveling to take you all the places your skating demands. I know you love to travel and see new places, but do you ever get homesick? If so, what have you found is the best way to deal with it?
I'm definitely a homebody and love being around the people I love, so I do get homesick. I am crazy and take photos and candles and my own pillow to make hotel life a little more comfortable. It's definitely hard to travel so much.
from Irene
question: Really love your skating! Was worth the trip from Scotland to Atlanta to see you win Nationals! One question. Any chance of you skating a programme to the music Anissina/Peizerat skated their waltz to in 1999 worlds? Think it was called My Pure and Tender Beast (a russian tune). I can just picture you skating to it!
I love that piece of music, and I took that idea to Tatiana Anatolievna but she thinks it's a piece better suited for women, that's where Valse Triste came from it is a waltz but "for man."
from Rachel
question: Hi Johnny! I recently saw you on television for the first time and fell in love with your skating. You are a wonderful role model for my 9 year old. He has only been figure skating for a year and a half and sometimes gets overwhelmed by the pressure of competition. He's getting ready to leave for Junior Nationals and there is nothing I have been able to say to calm his nerves. He feels that he has to win or the world will end. Were you the same way as a small boy? Do you have any advice for him or me as the parent of a young male figure skater?
I always wanted to be first place and the champion, but it isn't always possible. My mother always taught me that in order to be a champion in anything, you have to work hard and be pleased with whatever outcome might come your way and in time you'll get your moment. I still believe that; if you do your job that's all you need to be proud of, and if you're skating because you love it, it shouldn't be about winning or medals.
from emma
question: hello johnny. i'm french and i don't speak english very well so i'm very sorry about it. i just want to know what did you think about paris ( you won gold medal there ... ) ??? Good luck for all the tournament you gonna do and you look very nice !!! gros bisous
J'adore Paris! Je pense que c'est une ville magnifique. Les parisians sont plus interesants et plus gentils. Aussi j'adore faire du shopping et Paris est la meilleure ville pour ca. Je n'ecrit pas bien en francais, mais pas mauvais pour un americain!
from Nicole
question: Red Sox or Yankees? Tarantino or Shyamalan? Fantasia or Diana?
RED SOX! Tarantino. Fantasia, but Kelly was the best American Idol.
from angie
question: What character is harder to portray, one of your creation, or one from a written work (i.e. Romeo and Juliet or King Arthur)? thanks for answering!
I think it's more difficult to portray a character that someone else has created, you may not be doing it justice. My character for Otonal is my character and easy for me to portray, and Romeo and Juliet were Shakespeare's characters and easy for him to portray.
from Leander
question: firstly, i want to say that, while i cannot skate myself, you are an absolute inspiration to me, in many other areas. although i'm only one of hundreds of thousands to try and contact you, i wanted you to know that. your performance in the grand prix at japan was earthshatteringly flawless. now, question-wise, i noticed in some pictures and performances you wear a red bracelet (something that can stand for a few different things...) and i was wondering what does it mean to you?
Thank you, that is very flattering. I practice Kabbalah which is a jewish mystical belief and has helped me become a better person.
from Robert
question: What exercises do you do to stay so strong and limber? Your endurance is amazing, how do you train for cardio fitness?
I do pilates and lots of training on the ice, nothing more or less.
from Amber
question: Dear Johnny, Can you tell me if you like answering our email questions or any questions and what questions annoy you. thanks
I love answering my email and questions even though I'm a bit slow at it! Nothing really annoys me, I just don't like to bare it all. I tell you guys a lot, but some things are sacred.
from Marta
question: Hi Johnny! I'm from Latvia. I'm 12 years old. I started to skate in 8 years. Then I one year was without any coach. Now I jump aksel and some doubles. I really love watching you skate. I like your choreography. It's three that you was at ballet school? I have just watching you on "CUP OF RUSSIA". It was wonderful. I have free programe on music of Smoke City -- To forgive but not forget. I want to be the champion of Latvia in my future. What you will do in that situation? thank you. M.M.
Believe in yourself when nobody else will, and work harder than you think you could ever handle.
from Iren
question: Hi Johnny! I've seen your performance in Moscow. It was great! Thanks! Now, my question. You've mentioned Moscow among your favourite cities. Why do you like it? Then, what is your opinion about Evgene Plushenko and Alexey Yagudin?
I love the energy of Moscow and the people. It's such an old city with so much history, it's fascinating. It's hard to describe, but I think I like it more because a lot of people don't and I'm obsessed with russian culture.
Plushenko and Yagudin are both incredible guys with a lot of character. They're both very different and I really respect what they have both done for our sport.
from Melissa
question: hi johnny, i love the way u skate, it is so beautiful. since i know a bit from reading all these questions there is only one question i want to ask. What is the passion behind ur skating? thanks
The passion I suppose comes from love. I love everything about my life and so I'm able to show it.
from Chris
question: I was wondering what is the significance of the necklace with the letter "D" that you wore at the Grand Prix competitions?
It is very special, and very private. 
from tamuna
question: this is very strange, but my great wish is to know you indeed, who you are inside, so lovely and romantic like you are in your programs, full of feelings? I understand that door in "your world" inside you isn't open for everyone, but please write me something about yourself...maybe i'm asking too much, but i think you are nice person. P.S forgive me for SO long question and for bad spelling, that because i know english only a little, my speaking language is russian. good luck!
I think something people don't often get to see from me is that I'm a very quiet person. I enjoy spending time reading or listening to music and just being alone. I really love being in my own little world where nothing is ugly or wrong, everything is gorgeous. I may seem a little outrageous at times, but I'm just living the way I want. It may be topsy turvey and bipolar at times, but it's me.
from Misha
question: Johnny, why do you like fur coats and other "feminine" things?
Hmm...I like fur coats because they're beautiful and warm. I don't know what other "feminine" things you're talking about, but the last time I checked it was 2005 and I can like whatever I want. You do your own thing, and I'll do mine.
from sarah
question: i saw on your favorite movies list that you like Lord of the Rings Trilogy and was wondering out of all the characters who is your favorite of all of them? mine is Legalos
Mine is either Legolas or Galadria Lady of Light. I love the elves because they always look perfect and are all gifted and I wish to be like that!
from Susie
question: Hi Johnny, I was completely mesmerized and deeply moved after watching your long program at NHK. I haven't enjoyed a program that much since watching Michelle win Nationals quite a few years ago. Your interpretation of the music and quality of skating was a beautiful thing to watch. Fortunately I TIVO'd it and have watched it over and over again. Your costumes are elegant and you certainly have a flair for fashion. What kind of clothes do you wear off the ice?
Off the ice I like to wear comfortable clothes that are made well and of nice fabrics. I love fur and cashmere if I can be honest! For parties and clubs I dress up a bit funkier but I don't do that so often, so I'm really into well made quality clothing.
from hannah
question: Do you like Los Angeles? Have u ever been to Malibu?
LA. is cool, but I'm definitely an east coast boy. I love the change in seasons and California is a bit too "bright lights big city" for me.
from Stef
question: As a great fan of yours and consequently totally unwilling to see you sad I just wonder what is the thing that can really despair you or that would definitely affect your mood in a negative way?
Death or mistrusting. I can handle everything and let it slide but if someone I thought I could trust loses my trust it's really disheartening and death for obvious reasons. I'm pretty strong, I can handle just about anything.
from Joana
question: how did you get simba as your nickname? would you ever move to los angeles and live there or where would you like to live? have you ever gone to a christina aguilera concert? do you think she's a great singer?
Simba is a private and very special nickname. I couldn't live in California but I'd love to live in Boston, New York, Paris, Moscow and Oslo. I have seen Christina Aguilera in concert three times and I think she's an amazing talent.
from Nick
question: I am so sorry that you injured your foot and are unable to compete in the 2004 Grand Prix Final, especially having put out so much hard work and effort in NHK, Trophee Eric Bompard, and Cup of Russia. I have a deep respect for your honesty in skating and hope you are well enough to compete in Nationals. I was wondering what you think about Michelle Kwan, because there are no questions on this page that mentions her.
I think Michelle is an amazing person with a very clear head and knows her strengths and weaknesses. Someone who can be honest about both sides of that coin is truly special. I started skating around the time Michelle won her first world title and she has been one of my favorites ever since. She's an inspiration to anyone and I have to say that I love Michelle Kwan.
from Xavier
question: hi johnny let me congratulate you for the trophee bompard this year i may be french and a supporter of brian joubert but i must acknowledge your amazing talent! i discovered figure skating a bit late so i never been able to do a proper career or anything but if i had been a skater i would have liked to be like you , i saw you at dortmund and even without a quad you were stunning! i hope you'll be US champion again. last thing now is true you're fluent in french? if so, tres bonne chance pour cette saison.
Je ne parle pas d'un parisian, mais je parle tres bien pour un americain qui etudie francais pour juste deux ans.
from Sarah
question: I think it is so awesome how you keep in touch with your fans! Most people with all your accomplishments would not be as modest as you seem to be. How do you stay so down to earth?
As quickly as I've been given my gifts, they can be taken away so I need to be a good person before anything else.
from La'Tisha
question: Did you know that the fashion designer Richie Rich was a figure skater? Have you ever met him? Do you like his fashions?
I didn't know that! His stuff is hot as paris Hilton would say. Heatherette is a really fun and colorful company, it would be cool to meet him! He was also in the film " arty Monster."
from La'Tisha
question: What do you do with your old costumes and skates?
The skates I keep just in case I need them and the costumes I'll sell to other skaters about my size or just keep as memories.
from La'Tisha
question: Did you name Bon-Bon after the ice-cream treats?
I named Bon-Bon after the french word for candy. He has two black spots on his side and they look like chocolates.
from Kristina
question: The Four Continents Championship was originally designed to be a comparable competition to Europeans. However, the top US singles skaters often don't compete at this event. Do you think that more importance should be placed on Four Continents, or do you think it is a good idea for "second tier" skaters who are not on the World team to compete there?
I think it's an important competition and shouldn't be passed over because of it's "negative prestige," but I will say it's hard. Europe is one continent and very easy to travel around, but flying between North America, Asia, Australia and Africa is very hard. I'm not a fan of sixteen hour flights and don't know who would be, especially when three days after you get off the plane you have to compete.
from Katia
question: At the end of some of your performances this year, at NHK and Lalique, I saw you blowing a kiss to someone in the audience. Was that kiss to anyone in particular? Or just in general to the fans?
A group of my fans got together and made me a banner that says Johnny's Angels on it so I blow kisses to my angels.
from Katya
question: Do you prepare differently before skating in a show than in a competition?
I'm not as focused for shows, I can have a little more fun before I skate. When I compete I don't even smile before I skate, it's all business.
from Cheri
question: Hey- I go to school at University of Delaware in Newark, DE. I love watching you skate, do you ever skate at the Fred Rust Rink on campus??
I don't actually. I skate at The Pond across town. I cut all of my ties with the University of Delaware Figure Skating Club due to disagreements and negativity. It's not a good atmosphere for me.
from Kasumi
question: I know you would enjoy being a fashion designer, what kind of clothes would you design? Men's clothes, women's?? Or runway types?
I want to have mens and womens collections on the runway and I'd like to have several boutqiues around the world that sell ready to wear.
from gene
question: what is your greatest fear?
Death, loneliness, regret, spiders and sharks.
from Derek
question: What is your favorite TV show? Do you watch The O.C.?
Right now it's The Simple Life and Sex and the City.
from Aki
question: Hi Johnny! I have read the list of your favorite movies, and found that you like "The Pianist", so I wanna ask you what you felt when you saw it. (I saw it recently!)
It was so moving because Roman Polanski included some of his memories from the Holocaust and included them in Wladislaw Szpilman's story. I cried.
from Ron
question: Do you think Nationals will be more difficult this year now that you are defending champion? Does that add extra pressure or is it the same as every year?
There will be a little more pressure, but as far as I'm concerned nothing will ever be as tough as last year's Nationals so I'm over that hurdle.
from Meg
question: Do you have any New Year's Resolutions? Happy Holidays!
My New Years resolution is to take time out and breath every once and a while. Life is going by so fast I feel like I'm missing things.
