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.

The man I’ve grown into is a human that embraces the strength of the man & woman who raised me to be myself. If you feel squashed by the boot of someone else’s beliefs, remember you are free to live your life the way YOU believe. Also, religion isn’t an excuse for hate.

The above tweet was a response to Jenna Ellis' insulting tweet about Johnny's masculinity because of what he wore to the Tokyo Olympic's closing ceremony:

Master bedroom: This is precisely where the magic doesn't happen.—I've been waiting my whole life to say that on Cribs.

There's no magic that happens in this room because nobody good enough has come along, honestly. Or that could handle this. (gesturing to his body)

The best thing about this car is its butt. It's round, it's juicy, has a trunk, sort of, for access....(laughing) So gay!

As introspective as one may be, you really only know yourself when instagram suggests things you may enjoy. Hot dudes, Hermès & skateboards?

That awkward moment when you realize you're too over the top for your own google. And you type "emerald crystal chandelier," and it comes back after it felt like 10 minutes and says, "Did you just mean green, you pretentious queen?"

You can't really challenge a gay dude when it comes to lip syncing.

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.

I'm terrified that there's some, like, demon wearing a nun's costume sitting on my shoulder at all times that kinda keeps men away from me.

Was out shopping and someone walked by and said, "All hail the Queen." Consider my 2016 made.

When I was competing, despite being very gay, I wanted my skating to speak for itself and have it judged purely on merit not on the circus that is me.

Being gay had as much to do with my performances as muscle cars or giraffes.

Despite the obvious jokes we can all make re: Olympic condom gifting, I'm proud of the IOC for wrapping it up.

I wasn't afraid of other kids because--very much like other band geeks and drama freaks, and all those people in school--I understood that some day they'd wash my car.

I always forget how vigorous security pat downs are in the EU. The guard made it to at least second base and then made fun of my poncho.

While being loud and forceful may seem like the right move in acceptance, I believe in quiet normalcy and drawing attention by merits, not by yelling.

I have worked very hard, done amazing things with my life just the way I am and if you have an issue, go watch a football game instead of the skating. I'm a comfortably gay man and everything you see on TV is me, it's genuine. If you don't like it, go watch Bravo.
