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 just became more and more interested in the history and culture of Japan. Just like my love affair with Russia, Japan was another place that spoke to me. I found different traits of Japan that I love every time I came here. It isn't just the cleanliness. Japan is in one way very conservative but at the same time it is very modern and ahead of the rest of the world.
