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 never think of myself as an activist in any capacity but I am glad that people can find strength and inspiration in my triumphs and defeats. I hope that I can continue to inspire individuality in people regardless of age, sex, race, sexual orientation or religion.
