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.

When I was watching the men’s event the other night and nobody was skating as if they wanted to win the gold medal, I wanted to jump out of the booth. I kept poking Tara and it was hard to watch because I knew that my level of competition, even when I was retiring in the fall, that I could have competed with those guys.
