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 don't enjoy being compared to people because I am original and my own person, but at times there are similarities between one person and another. I don't enjoy being compared to animals by Mr. Dick Button, but I can deal with it. There are skills that other people have that I don't that I admire, but I don't envy them for being able to ice skate well, that's trivial.
