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: Johnny, I feel sorry for you. Your pride is going to be your downfall. I don't write to attack you but, your attitude will bring you low.... Also, here's a penny for your thoughts, If you cause just one of these little ones to stumble it is better that a millstone were tied around your neck and you were cast in the depth of the sea. (God's own words) You should consider it an honour to have all these kids looking up to you. Johnny, turn to God, he is the answer to your problems, to your life. John 3:16 Praying for you, don't forget that!]

...I am honored that people look up to me. But to look up to anyone is to accept them for who they are. The Bible verse didn't take, I'm sorry to disappoint.
