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.

[How would you do in the NHL? Could you skate circles around these guys?]

I would do really well in the NHL, except for the fact that there are giant burly men coming at me trying to check me into a wall. That I couldn't handle. I'm very used to skating without pads. I'm a real man.

[So if there was no checking, no cross-checking, and no stick checking, it was just purely like, based on...]

...your skating?

[...how well you skated, you'd do very well?]

Yeah, and, I mean, I'd pull hair.
