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.

Figure skaters don't usually become famous, but the world kind of latched on to me as their favorite skater. I have had so many great opportunities. I wanted to try everything at least once. I had lived such a one-track life that I wanted to have the freedom to try everything. I loved every second.
