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 have a huge love affair with Japan from the moment I came here. Japan was the first country I visited amongst other Asian countries. The first time was actually a transit. We flew to Japan first on the way to Australia.

I'm crazy about being clean. It fascinated me just to walk in the airport and to see how clean and white and beautiful everything was. I was amazed by how a small country with so many people can be so clean.
