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.

Of course, if you want medals and you're driven just by medals, then you need to make everyone happy and you need to say all the right things. And you need to try to please everyone. But even those people don't please everyone. Even the people that play by every single rule, say every single thing they're supposed to, listen to their coaches and bring up different sponsors and all of these things when they're doing interviews like this, those people still don't make everyone happy. Those people don't always finish first. Those people don't always win. I accept that, it's just a lot of people don't.
