It's a very difficult thing to do, to come back to competitive figure skating, and, you know, lucky for me, I don't have the pressure of being the Olympic champion riding on my shoulders as well. I can come back and land some jumps and look beautiful and people will be excited and happy to see me. Evan has the pressure of coming back as the champion.

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.
