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.

[After Ellen: When you received the lower-than-expected score in the men's figure skating long program in the Olympics, queer women across the U.S. protested on your behalf and threw things at our TV screens. Is there anything you want to say to your lesbian fans?]

The outpouring of love I've gotten from them has been incredible. So many people had bad reactions to my results at the Olympics, and I can only say thank you, and I love them for having that reaction. I had the same reaction myself--I wanted to throw things, but being in that situation I could not! But my most heartfelt thank you!
