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.

I was in every mall in America when he was doing the coming out process. So I had the mohawk, I had the full dirty face, and nipples out, and everything. And he would walk his friends by the poster and say, "I'm gay, and I'm dating that."

[Interviewer: If you had the opportunity to be the first to do something in space, what would it be?]

Mmmm...I mean, I can't really skate in space I suppose. Um...I wanted to say something dirty, but I feel like my husband will be embarrassed.

[Interviewer: Please do.]

[whispers] Fellatio.

Speaking of reproduction with @Vweirvoronov and he just called my sperm a "bunch of Nancies". Mine are Pimp and wear fur coats.

I don't need to kiss my husband after I've competed a great performance and run up to the stands. I don't need to kiss him. I'll kiss him when I get to the hotel. He can see me later.

I will perform in a country who’s government would prefer having me in prison than entertaining her population, because I support the population and not the government. Should anything happen to me, please notify my mother and my husband.

The weirdest dreams last night. Woke up mad for no reason! Don't you hate that? I think it's because @Vweirvoronov beat me at Ruzzle.
--Twitter, August 4, 2013

Blogger's note: Ruzzle is a word-find game similar to Boggle, played on smart phones.

If my theory is true, I could be an overcooked girl, while my husband is an undercooked man.

Never having lived in a closet myself, I owe a lot of my first-hand knowledge on the subject to my husband, who lived “in” for the greater part of 28 years. I have learned that you live in constant fear that someone will find out. You hide everything about your personal life from everyone, even those who are closest to you--and sometimes they’re your girlfriend. The greatest liberation could be coming out, but it is also viewed as the greatest tragedy. Once you’re out, there’s no going back in.

With our marriage vows in the last moments of 2011 came my responsibility to become an upstanding Voronov and a social butterfly flittering around this Soviet, Russian, Ukrainian, Jewish, Communist, Non-Communist, glamorous family so that they understand that I am a nice goy and that I won’t shame the established name they’ve created over generations. I also needed to convince a bunch of them that I didn’t turn the star grandbaby into a gay man for my own amusement.

When my new grandmother heard that her son’s son was a gay man, she thought for sure it was just a phase and I even heard that I possibly tricked Victor into marrying me.

This weekend I will finish the family tree tour by meeting Baba No. 2, Baba Lyuba. I have been told that she doesn’t understand the whole gay thing, that she may think it’s a bit like bronchitis, and that I should only speak Russian with her so she can at least say I am adequate as a human being. My husband has also started to weed out my most flamboyant clothing options so as not to offend her with color or purses.

My husband was not only coming out of the closet as a gay man with me, he was also coming out as married and most of the extended family learned about us through gossip and news rather than a wedding announcement or phone call. Start your engines.

When I realize the simple fact that I am a tyrant with possibly a touch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, I rush out of the bathroom (once the lotions have soaked in) to find my husband and my puppy cowering in the corner not wanting to walk on the carpet...They look at me with wide eyes and with a sprinkle of jealousy toward my vacuum.

I am somehow more gay now, than when I'm making love down by the fire with my husband.

I married my husband because I love him and want to be with him all the time, no matter how often my inner diva tells me I should go solo. 
 --fcnp.com, "Johnny's World: Separate Togetherness," February 8, 2013
[T]he paramount reason we were married was because we loved, and love, one another deeply and are invested in making our marriage a success story no matter the cost.

I want to win this money for the Human Rights Campaign which basically allowed me to live my life freely and to marry the man that I love.

I just begrudgingly decorated the apartment because Victor really wanted the decorations. I'm not so into all that sparkly stuff because then I have to vacuum it up.

[T]he filming went so well that Channel 1, as Putin’s channel is dubbed, wanted to dedicate an entire show to my family, even at the ready to fly people from America overnight and extend my husband, mother and aunt’s stays in Moscow to be live in the studio to show that we are as normal as well, borscht.

"He" is my husband. An Ivy League grad, a stable and proud man with wisdom and brains for days, who gets excited over very little and he's been reduced to a teenage girl fighting for a bottle of Bieber's new fragrance by a five inch piece of "brushed aluminum."
