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.

Certain things in life I realize you are constantly battling. There's always something that's nagging at your heart or your mind or your soul...a lot of things I can push to the sides and I can brush off. But when something hurts my insides and hurts my soul and I can deal with it and I can throw some cover-up on it and it's cool for a bit. But then there's a time and place when you have to be strong and a time for guts and glory and then you can go home after and cry into your pillow and pass out.
