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.

I could understand the criticism if I was pulling a Lindsay Lohan every night, getting wasted and into car accidents. But just because people don’t like certain aspects of a celebrity-driven event, or they love skating but not this periphery, or they don’t want to see me beyond an arena, I will not be defined by what I do, nor my results.
