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.

[Q. What quality do you most admire in yourself? In other people?]

In myself, I admire my ability to do things my way in a world that is constantly telling you “no,” and also my ability to find beauty and meaning in nearly everything. In others, I admire compassion and love. I do not love easily, and constantly living in my head can make me cold to other people’s problems, but I wish I was able to always listen and understand.
