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 decided to make the program about love and war and how love can be war. I fight for myself everyday, and so does every other person in this world. To find self-acceptance, and love, and joy, is hell to get to. To truly believe in something and fight for it is the most rewarding thing you can do. I fight to be an individual, I fight to have a voice, I fight for my opinions, I fight for my family, I fight for honor, life is a war and I wanted to show that in my program.
