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.

Reading from Welcome to My World:

[Baroque music playing]

It took me a long time to actually feel really physical. Sure there were those late nights when, staying up to watch Oz, I would feel a strange stirring...

Guys, come on, what's this music? It's too stuffy and old. [Baroque music stops] I need something hot and dirty and sexy like my new single, [Dirty Love starts to play.] Dirty Love. [To camera:] Available now on iTunes and wherever awesome music is sold...Much better.

"It's time to practice," he said, pulling me into a dark corner.

In the darkness of some den, he put his big hands on my narrow hips.

Oh, God, so sexy! Sweating out my weave! Can I have some privacy please?
