When I go, I go to Russia as a celebrated athlete. I am treated very well. I’m kind of a tchotchke. I’m a pretty, cute...thing that sparkles and shines and dances and entertains people. And in Russia, that’s not threatening.

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.
