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.

Honestly, when you're standing in front of an arena of thousands and a TV audience of millions, you go back to basics, to yourself. So even if I went out with a big smile and big fireworks and a million dollar butt wiggle, it would look so fake and tacky on me it might as well be some music video fluff.

Blogger's note: Johnny later changed his mind about butt wiggling.
