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.

My mom hates to be on camera. She usually hides somewhere in the arena so the cameras can't find her. She usually cries and looks like a crazy person when I skate, and she doesn't want that to be on television. She hates the cameras. At worlds one year, she strategically sat behind people with a big flag so after I skated they'd raise the flag, and she'd be hidden.
