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.

Priscilla has been my coach since the beginning, and it was very hard to tell Priscilla, you know, "I'm leaving you." It's like breaking up with your mother.

It was one of the proudest moments of my life just because I came back, and I basically said, "F-you" to everybody that said horrible things about me, or didn't support me, or said there was no room for me at the inn.

I wish the judges actually knew what they were doing.

Blogger's note: After extensive research, I've been unable to determine when and where the scene with this quote was recorded. Johnny is wearing his My Way costume, so I assume it must have been at an exhibition skate during the 2005-07 period. If you can give me more information, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

[What would be [Viacheslav Romanov's] superpower?]

Maybe flying underwear. So his underwear could fly--he couldn't so his underwear would keep him in the air.

That was not dirty and sexy in the same way. That bathtub was dirty. For anyone who has not seen the movie, it starts with me in a scene with my best friend. I have a blonde wig on and I am doing an interview about me in the bathtub. His bathtub was filthy, but we had bathing suits on.

Well, you can be fabulous when you're 90 or 190....but most of them are not.

What I do in my bedroom and who I go to a movie with, who I go out to dinner with as a date, that's personal. I don't think anyone needs to know if I'm sleeping with Sienna Miller or Orlando Bloom.

She wants me to have a meeting with her. That has to be booked through my agent. Good luck getting him to answer his phone.

I don't think there's anything that is going to shock her, maybe some things that were said or maybe some things that she wore.

Well, the wall thing was kind of unexpected. But the not-training, like there was no way I was going to do anything that year. I was not prepared. I was 18. I didn't want to listen to anybody. I had a horrible dye job in my hair.

I wouldn't want a friend sitting next to me in the locker room you know, just talking about American Idol, and curling each other's hair, that sort of thing.

As Viacheslav Romanov:
Johnny's skating, I like it. I think he is kind of pussy when competing because he let head go sometime and talk a lot about shopping, but I think he interest.

[filming opening to broadcast of 2006 Marshall's Challenge]

I'm not an actor, you know.

What's the one? One winner?

You know, I'm getting old for a figure skater. And I haven't had that time when I can, you know, sit in a shortie bathrobe on a lounge chair drinking mai tais.
