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’ve been called everything in the skating world, so it doesn’t really interest me who I scare. It’s never been a big issue for me to have no holds barred and to talk the way I want to. And that scares people. You wouldn’t expect that from a sport like figure skating, but it’s a very old-school sport, with lots of old people involved. It’s basically like trying to get your grandmother to understand Lady Gaga.
