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]hen you hear bad things about yourself, they make you so strong and so angry that you find yourself improving from that. So, I hope people never stop talking badly about me, because it gives me the opportunity to rise up and be better every day.

    Johnny, although I completely don't agree with some aspects of your life I would never say anything bad about you. I hope someday we meet so we can talk for a minute or two.
