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 is most likely to make you laugh? Most likely to make you cry?]

I think I’m pretty poised and don’t usually chortle at just anything, but if I’m caught off guard, anything can hit me. A facial expression, a dirty joke, or a funny accent can send me over the edge if I’m not expecting it. I am constantly laughing at inappropriate times — as Kathy Griffin calls them, “The Church Giggles.” I cry a lot. I think I cry the most when I am nostalgic and longing for a feeling I’ve felt or want to relive. I also cry when I get very angry.
