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.

Now that I’ve slept on what my gymnastics career would look like, I think I’d be more focused on my vault run face than my actual vault which isn’t conducive to long term success. I’ll stick to sit spins over wolf spins.

That thing when you catch your dad yelling at the commentator on tv and YOU are the commentator on tv.

I just wish people would love each other and take care of each other. Life is so short, why waste time on hating or becoming a victim? If you put out love, love comes back to you. Love a stranger, love a co-worker, love your mother. Just love people.

One of those busy days when by the end, you don’t have the energy to vacuum as planned, so you throw on your eatin’ dress and drag yourself around the house instead.  #cleaning #selflove #fitness

I may putt by. Does anyone need a cart driver? I can’t guarantee they’ll make it to the right place, but I’ll sure try for an eagle.

My mom went out shopping today.--Hi, Mom!--She's for sure going to see this.--She went out shopping today, and she bought me what I can only call a light oatmeal pair of biker shorts. And reading between the family lines I think she's frustrated that I'm still single.

At that point in my diet when I’d buy tickets to sit next to someone and watch them eat pizza.

There is an infinite amount of love in this world to obliterate the negativity that surrounds us all every day. Stay true to yourselves and step boldly into that love if you feel yourself crumbling into the muck around you.

On clear nights, before bed, I take a second to go out back and look at the stars and breathe a minute. There’s been this bunny around though for about a year, he’s the size of a small pony, and he stares me down. Do I give him a name & salad or get frightened? Goodnight!

Anyone else at that point in their spring diet where you prepare arugula with lemon juice yet you close your eyes and pretend it’s a fresh scone with clotted cream and apricot preserves?

Talked to millions of people, called 245 programs, learned life bios on 145 people, laughed & cried a lot, ate pity cake too often & wouldn’t have it any other way.

Learn from other people’s successes, but never compare your achievements to theirs. Your journey is your own and there is no template other than the one you make for yourself.

I need to get used to being home in the country. There’s something that sounds like a dinosaur in my meadow…

I have costume fittings today & I just know it’s going to be torturous because my diet hasn’t caught up to my brain yet. The thing about lime green latex though, it hides all of life’s little lumps That is an absolute lie.

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.

I’m not very conservative nor am I easily shocked, but I just saw a commercial on television that was promoting an appropriate tool to “shave your balls” and I clutched my pearls while gasping.

What’s the polite way to let your upstairs hotel neighbor know that they have woken you up every day of your trip between 04:30-06:30am with what I can only imagine is a new majorette routine rehearsal or bathroom demolition? Do I send a note?
