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.

It may sound like an excuse, but you have to remember that Michael Jordan had a whole team around him. I'm a single, skinny, sparkly boy standing by myself.

(after being reminded that while he came in 5th at the 2009 Nationals after becoming seriously ill while in Korea the month before, Michael Jordan had led the Chicago Bulls to victory in the NBA finals despite being sick right before tipoff.)
