The hardest part about being a skater with a chance to make the Olympic team is that everybody wants to have a say in what you're doing. Well, if I want your opinion, I'll ask you for it. Otherwise just leave me alone. But generally, I guess I don't want anyone's opinion.

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.
