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.

You look very thin. It's excellent, it's excellent, I promise. Very proud. Very proud.
--Press conference, 2006 U.S. Nationals, day before short program, January 11, 2006
(to Chicago Tribune sports journalist Phil Hersh)
