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 am not doing anything for the world by my skating. It doesn't change lives or help people, except that I can give skating lessons to kids. So I see my skating as a way of getting myself into the public eye, to let people know who I am so I can have a greater effect. I don't know exactly what I am going to do with that, but it's going to be to help people. It's important.
