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.

Everyone works very hard and they deserve all the recognition in the world, even more so than some of the football players in the world who have a contract every year for six million dollars. They hurt their toe and they still get six million dollars and they are still famous. Figure skaters work very hard for very little.
