This beauty mark is a pimple actually. That's how I'm fronting.
--SiriusXM, Just Jenny, October 22, 2014

I’m a passive activist in some ways, because I live my life with integrity, I only move forward, and that’s my choice. That’s how I live.
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

It isn’t just a gay sport. I mean, I believe me, I looked high and low for somebody else that would understand me, and there were very few choices. The...most of the guys are straight, and, you know, they like beer, not champagne, and they like...they like boobs. And it’s weird for me, because part of the allure of figure skating was the, you know, gay men that I'd heard about my whole time growing up, but, you know, it’s kind of a disappointment...
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

I am actually in my car on my way to practice. I am wearing, let's just say it's a pair of underpants and a silk robe. That's usually how I roll first thing in the morning.
--KISS 108FM, Matty in the Morning, interview, September 17, 2014

For what a stiletto heel can do for your legs and your butt and the way you look from far away, I feel like more men should wear stilettos.
--KISS 108FM, Matty in the Morning, interview, September 17, 2014

You know what? I would consider that the hardest part about especially the guys that skate pairs or ice dance, when they skate directly with the girl and touch all over the girl...

[Pete Dominick: Oh yeah, when I watch that, I’m like, How do they do that? I mean, I guess they...]

Oh yeah, they wear tight tight tight pants.

[Pete Dominick: Sure.]

And you can’t hide when something...pops up.

(on problems of straight male skaters)

You have to be confident. You have to be a little bit arrogant to make it through this life alive.

--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

It looks really, really pretty from the outside the figure skating world, but inside, I mean, bring it on Black Swan, that was nothing. Pulling out your fingernails...please!
--SirusXM, Just Jenny, October 22, 2014

I have lived my life to be Johnny Weir. I haven’t lived my life to be a letter in an acronym. I work very hard as an athlete, as a person, as a loved one, and that’s what life is about. It isn’t about adhering to something that you’re supposed to adhere to.
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014
(on how much being gay is part of his identity)

The long program--it's about four minutes, forty seconds for the men--and it’s kind of the equivalent of running a full marathon and then at the end having to appear as though you don’t sweat, and you have to smile. And then get scores.
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

[T]he whole point of my life is not to be "normal"; it's to be exceptional.
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

I am in a really, really solid relationship with my luggage. That is kind of what we’re talking about here, but I think you’re envisioning kind of leather diapers and feathery headdresses, and it’s not that. I just want you to, you know, erase that from your mind. 
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

[F]igure skating is a way that I can release that inner artist in myself at all times while exercising and staying in shape and keeping my ass like a bookshelf, where it should be.

[Pete Dominick: You put...you can...can you...is your ass so tight and firm that you could set books on it? Is that what you're saying? Is that what you’re articulating?]

Oh, yeah, I’ve cracked an apple.
--OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

[Pete Dominick: I'm not a big fan of competition period.]

Why?

[Pete Dominick: For a number of reasons.]

What happened to you when you were young? Show me on the doll where the bad man touched you.
-OutQ SiriusXM, StandUP! with Pete Dominick, October 22, 2014

It doesn't make a difference to me that my life is splashed in newspapers, or if it was just for my parents to see what I was going through. It hurts all the same.
--OutQ SiriusXM, The Frank DeCaro Show, October 22, 2014
(on so much public attention paid to his divorce)

I don't really know if there's anywhere more gay to go when I'm skating to a performance by Lady Gaga.
--BBC Radio 4, Today programme, "Johnny Weir on Russian gay Olympic boycott and Elton John," interview, August 7, 2013

I'm very gay...I give Sir Elton a run for his money in many respects.
--BBC Radio 4, Today programme, "Johnny Weir on Russian gay Olympic boycott and Elton John," interview, August 7, 2013

Should I be arrested, should my life be threatened, I'll know that I'll be there for a purpose, I'll know I'll be there to help my community and my brothers and sisters.

Does God really sit on Christian Mingle and match people? These radio commercials kill me. Doesn't He have better things to take care of?
--Twitter, April 5, 2013

If you're constantly worried about wowing the judges and impressing them, then you're kind of going the wrong way, because you won't always impress them.
