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.

[How would you say the reaction has been in the governing bodies of figure skating and that community been in terms of the book [Welcome to My World]?]

Well, it wasn't so much me coming out in my book formally, it was that I kind of trash-talked on the establishment of figure skating in my book. I think that was the thing that they hated the most.
