His curious mind has served him well.
But here are a few nuggets I asked, he answered, and I was later able to remember ...
How much time do you spend painting each day? Depends, sometimes it is the entire day.
Who lived in your house before you bought it? At one time it was a school for bad little rich kids.
He smiled when he said that.
Do you have skating dreams? Yes, his are of the competition variety where he's having trouble landing his jumps, or even getting to the ice.
Do you still choreograph in your head after hearing a song you really like? Yes, all the time.
What advice would you give to Johnny Weir?
The subject of Johnny came up a lot, partially because we watched his reality show, but also because he had just been asked this by someone in Johnny's camp. From the bits and pieces he mentioned, here you go Johnny: don't go back to competitive skating, but keep skating, and don't put money into your own show ... you always lose money on your own show. Stay true to yourself.
I sense that Toller is glad he had his life in painting along side his skating career. Skating can't last unless you want to teach or choreograph. The painting, on the other hand, will keep him very busy (and rich) for some time now.
