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'm not as young as I used to be. I'm going to have to start wearing a mirdle. That's a man's girdle, you know. You might want to try one; they're selling them on www.youaregettingold.com.
--SKATING magazine, "A good show off ice" by Lynn Rutherford, May, 2008; comment made at 2008 Nationals
(according to Rutherford, the last sentence was directed to a "veteran reporter known for his especially sharp criticism")
