I could’ve signed with that first agency at 16 years old and completely
whitewashed myself. But I would have been boring. I would have never had
the career I’ve had. I stuck to my guns and we created this brand and
my agency, they support me as a human being.…Being the absolute truest
brand of myself has been the greatest career asset I’ve had.

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.

[What do you usually like to do on long plane flights?]
I go insane on long flights. I read, play games on the TV, poke Tara when she passes out, meet the crew etc

I'm really upset that I'm not anything "of honor."
[Tara Modlin: I...Why don't we...If we can have maid of honor, I suppose we can have man of honor.]
Gay of honor.
[Tara: That's what it is! It's the gay of honor!]
So I'm the token?

I'm available for you for everything you need for the wedding. I will plan everything.
[Tara Modlin: OK.]
How many people are gonna stand up there? I mean, I'm the maid of honor, and then, there's Carin and Randi...
[Tara: Honey, you can't be the maid of honor.]
Who sez?
