The thing that she's having trouble with, it's almost like an archer like a Katniss Everdeen, with her bow and arrow, trying to shoot the arrow without pulling all the way back, and getting all of that tautness in the bow, and then just trying to, you know, shoot across the ocean or something.

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.

Well, you know, I really had to bring it. I’m feeling a little Colonel Sanders, I’m feeling a little Amish, a little Little Lord Fauntleroy...you know, that’s kind of where I’m at right now. But I've been up since 4:30, so--I’m usually crazy on a fresh mind, so I don’t actually know where I am right now.

"Manscaping: A Cautionary Tale from Behind the Blade." Just thought of
that as my next book title whilst manscaping. Catchy right?
