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: How does it feel to skate when all around the rink, there are banners in which you appear naked?]

It’s my fault. I do photo shoots, and I am always asked to take off some of my clothes. I take off only my shirt, but all this photo abundance creates an impression...Here, for example, Galina asked me when she got close to the ice, “Johnny, do you ever wear clothes?” I said, “Of course, Galina. It’s just my fans choose such photos."
