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.

[To Tara Lipinski] Can you show them Mongolia for me?...Yaks? [Demonstrates to flummoxed Tara by making finger-horns above his head.] Stealing is always good, but with lovely shoes. [Drops mic and prances out of the office door while displaying the "V for victory" sign over his head.]
