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'm not going to walk around and pretend I'm God just because I won a national championship. Football players score touchdowns and do these dances and think they're hot shit and they're not really doing anything for the world. I'm just still Johnny Weir from Newark, Delaware.
