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.

I have lived my life to be Johnny Weir. I haven’t lived my life to be a letter in an acronym. I work very hard as an athlete, as a person, as a loved one, and that’s what life is about. It isn’t about adhering to something that you’re supposed to adhere to.
