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.

Like when you drop a piece of velvet and you watch it slowly slither into itself on the floor; just absolutely magical skating.

[Terry Gannon: You drop velvet on the floor often?]

Yes, Terrance. On a Saturday night I can be found just dropping sheets of velvet onto the floor instead of going the the club, just trying to reimagine the skating of Sui Wenjing and Han Cong.
