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.
I think just "being his girlfriend" would be special enough for me.
ReplyDeleteHubby might have a problem with it though. ;)
I'm not seeing this one. Johnny's Q&A's only go back to May of 2005 before they return to September 2009. He's long overdue for some answering!
ReplyDeleteI am very cautious about posting quotations, and have personally verified this one.
ReplyDeleteThe "questions & answers" on Johnny's current website indeed only go back to May 2005. However, there were three previous versions of the site, and all three had Q&As which preceeded those on his current site.
The first site was "Johnny Weir Online!" which had journal entries starting on December 14, 1999 and periodic "Q&A"s from February 2001 on. The second version of the website was called "Johnny Weir: 2001 World Junior Champion." That was followed by "Johnny Weir...the Official Site."
If you read carefully, you will see that some of the earliest "questions & answers" on his current site mention his answers to previous questions that are not on his current site.
If readers doubt that this quote is genuine, I can post a screen-shot of the web page it came from.
