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.

You know, I'm a firm believer in to each his own—have your own opinion, but the point is you can't hate on other people for any reason. I don't care if you're against Indian people, gay people, black people—don't hate. I accept it; if you aren't a fan, move on. Don't make it worse by saying that you hate. Hating doesn't solve anything. It's all about love, it's all about acceptance.
