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.

(W)e do have Audrey Hepburn on the wall. Lady Gaga is up in the room. And a quote, "I never meant to be an icon, I just do my own thing." And I thought that was very good for me and Tanith because we both feel like the old ones on the team. We need to be the icons of the team.
