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 don't need to be a role model for the masses. I've never been someone to follow that dream, and to be the "Wheaties box" kind of athlete. If there are certain people that can be inspired by what I do, and everything that I've gone through, that's amazing. But I think when I wake up in the morning, I need to be inspired by myself, and then everything else will fall into place.
