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.

There are times when I get angry or I feel like I'm too weak to deal with something, but, in general, I don't care. People's opinions of me don't scare me. I've heard worse than whatever you have to say about me. And that's how I live my life. I rock it the way I want to. I love the way I want to. I walk forward--in a pair of Louboutins--but I walk forward and I never look back or sideways.
