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.

When you're on the ice, it's every man for himself. You want everyone to fail, you wanna win. That's the way it is. I don't know anybody who practices really excellent sportsmanship at the end of the day. You can say what you want to say, "Oh, I'm so happy for them, I'm so proud of them," at the end of the day, you wanted them to fall just as much as...anyone else you're competing against.
