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.

Usually I get really angry one day, and then I'll just leave and cut it off, and then the next day, I go in, and I'm pissed, and I'm so into making myself better that it works. And, that's my system. I get diva with myself, slap myself around a lot.
