Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

Figure skating is a bit dated – it’s like that tweed jacket you pull out of the back of your closet from time to time and I’m going to try to Chanel it up a little bit. My dream would be to have an aerialist come down from the ceiling, and only six of the best skaters that I love would be in the show. I’d have Lady Gaga performing on one end and Elton John performing on the other.
