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.

Tara and I unfortunately are afraid to watch [short track speed skating] live. That's a lot of flying blades and sliding falls. And, you know, blades straight to the face. It's not something I'm really into. We're into sparkles and wardrobe malfunctions, not a violent blade.

("wardrobe malfunctions" refers to French ice dancer Gabriella Papadakis' costume becoming unfastened shortly after her program with partner Guillaume Cizeron began, exposing her breast at one point during their performance)
