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 love walking through this place looking like this and scaring the hockey people. Although I do get called "Ma'am" more often than I'd like.

(walking though The Ice Vault wearing, according to the article: "shiny gold boots, purple leather gloves, a calf-length fur coat that draws the wistful caresses of a female Russian Olympic hopeful, fur earmuffs, and oversize Jackie O sunglasses")

    I don't think you are scaring the hockey people. I would more likely bet that they are laughing at you. If I saw you dressed like that, that is what I would do because you would look like a joke. In fact you are a joke. What are you trying to prove by your actions? I would surmise that fame and attemtion didn't come to you through success in figure skating, so you will do anything to attract attention to yourself. I think you need professional therapeutic help.
