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'm a little pretentious, and a little arrogant, and I like things to be over the top and 100 percent my way. But at the same time, I'm very loving, and I'm very supportive of people that I'm close to: family, people I'm in relationships with, that kind of thing. So I think I'm a well-rounded person. It's just, often times, people pick at what is your biggest quality that they don't understand. And just because I am able to be outspoken, feel comfortable in my own skin, that kind of thing, people are gonna pick at that. So I'm happy with who Johnny Weir is. Perfectionist, arrogant, whatever. It's just me.
