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.

Skating the performance of your life is one thing, and it does get you respect, but sixth place at the Olympics is not exactly a good springboard for doing other projects. I can't think of another skater who placed sixth at the Olympics who went on to do the things that I have done.
