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.

If any one of you can find out if any other skater has had a tattooed signature on somebody, I'd really appreciate it.
--Spokesman Review, "Weir wears image well" by John Blanchette, January, 13, 2006, from Press conference, 2006 U.S. Nationals, day before short program, January 11, 2006
(on fan Nancy Appl's ankle tattoo of his autograph)

Blogger's note: Version #2 of the same "quote":

I want you all to find out if any other fan has ever tattooed a skater's name on their body.
--McClatchy-Tribune News Service, "Spot on Olympic team no guarantee for slumping Weir" by Frank Fitzpatrick, January 11, 2006
