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 already knew that no matter what I did, most likely I wouldn't win a medal for the United States. And I accepted that, and I wanted to take the entire world on this journey. I wanted them to feel every emotion that I had coursing through my body, I wanted them to feel how nervous I was, I wanted everyone to feel my passion and my love for my craft. And, medal or not, I wanted people to feel that.
