I got fifth in my first Olympics, and it was really depressing and devastating, and I felt like I had sort of played by the rules as much as I could. Of course I was getting in trouble and getting sent to media training because I was talking about drugs and sex and all of these things that figure skaters aren't supposed to talk about.

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.
