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.

There are a lot of figure-skating fans and people who watch the Olympics every four years that want to see men’s figure skaters look really manly and strong. They want a Brian Boitano or a Brian Orser or a Kurt Browning. They want those sort of men. And I’m not that. So the only thing I can do is show myself and show my heart and show something that I’m proud of.
