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.

When they start criticizing my skating and how hard I work every day for that, that's the only thing that ever bothers me. But my critics are my critics, and I can't change anyone's mind about me except my own. So if I want to wake up one day and think, "I'm gonna be really nice today, and I'm not gonna say anything bad, or anything controversial, and that's just what I'm going to do for the rest of my life," then that's what it'll be. But for now, my critics can eat it.
