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.

All day today I was thinking, if I don't skate that well in the short program and I go into the long program and get tired, I'm just going to do a backflip like Surya Bonaly. I mean, it's not going to matter what I do. A medal is pretty far out of my grasp even with a clean short program. You never know. Maybe I'll just have the urge to throw on a tutu with glitter in my hair and it will be all good.
