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.

Many things follow Japan, although a lot of times other countries are given credit for them. Japan is very small but a very proud and modern country, and they don't expect anything from the rest of the world. I think that is very cool. 

I also think Japanese people are very cultured and polite, and at the same time honest. It's hard to find people like that.
