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'm not somebody to cry over something or to feel weak about something. I felt very defiant when I saw these comments. I felt that wasn’t these two men criticizing my skating, it wasn't them criticizing my anything. It was them criticizing me as a person, and that was something that really, frankly pissed me off.
