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 started the summer skating to Liebestraum by Franz Liszt, but I couldn't quite get the music into my heart. I didn't feel the music, and in my head I never saw it as my music, I pictured other people skating to it....Mainly Jennifer Robinson mind you, and I didn't think I could pull of the white dress and pearls the way she did.
