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.

As I grew older, I learned to feel like I'm in a bubble. It's not exactly being cautious with people, but I had to be very careful about my own energy especially during the Olympic season. I found that as I got older, I need to feel like I’m in a very warm place to really let myself be normal. I don’t know where this personality trait comes from, but when I feel uncomfortable, I can be very cold. Right now I feel very comfortable, so I can relax and be expressive.
