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.

The thing that people forget about figure skating costumes is that they are costumes. It's not clothes that we would wear walking down the street.

[Q: So you're not wearing like pink sequins down on the streets?]

Well, I may, but not on a velvet onesie.
