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.

The music's very lyrical and it's not one of those ones you can clap along to. I watched Ryan Bradley skate earlier with Zorba and that was awesome, and it's a different kind of [audience] support. This one they kind of sat back and had their cognac and their cigarettes, and they were just relaxing and watching, and his was more like a vodka-shots-let's-snort-coke kind of program.
