I'd love to learn how to foxtrot and cha cha. Believe it or not, I have terrible dancing skills. I can do everything on the ice, but as soon as you put me on the ground, I'm that person that falls down walking off a curb. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000028015
There's a lot in my closet. I've been collecting things since I was five. I'm definitely a pack rat. I'm not a hoarder, but I'm definitely a pack rat. I will keep anything if I have a memory in it or a good moment. -- Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000039237
Creating emotion was what my career was all about. I wanted people to laugh at me; I wanted people to cry with me. I wanted people to feel good or to think about something when they watched me.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000047906
I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do.

I never ever wanted to change my sport ...

It was how I could make them all worth it. -- Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000368439

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000410484
Michael Phelps is a sporting god among men. It is hard to say if anyone will ever match his accomplishments, but it has been an honor to see him become a legend.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000440241

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000495438

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000616395
Being in the public eye is part of what I do, and taking on a multitude of different projects - television, radio, fashion, writing or deep-sea diving - is a blessing.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000625668

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000669912
I think it is important for young people to see other young people on television doing something positive with their life, making positive changes and growing.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000705452

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000736012
In spite of all the skills that I do have, to relate to the normal world I have no applicable skills. I can speak Russian, I can speak French. I know about Chanel. Especially vintage Chanel. I know what Halston is. All of these things, but they can't really be applied to a nine-to-five. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000760743
So many people in the gay community have always asked me to come out, say it like it is, and help our cause. But for me ... I think my biggest statement I could give to the world is to be strong being myself ... you have to make something of yourself, and that's what makes us strong. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000770625
I drink Vitamin Water nonstop - I should have an IV. -- Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000864073
I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I've done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000880345

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 000881043

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001138787
I have been a figure skater for so long that when I stopped that competitive day-to-day grind, I didn't know what to do with myself. I don't know how the world works outside of being barked at by a Ukrainian woman and watching my weight. -- Johnny Weir

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001247927
Ice shows give us the opportunity to forget ourselves and just perform. They are amazing opportunities to be in front of audience to try out new material, to show new costuming.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001279953
Whether I moved people to throw punches or cry, I did that through my art and what I do. I would never take that experience away to race against a speedometer. Or play on a team. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001320072

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001354854

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001502438
The skating community is very fickle. And with me, they're especially fickle for whatever reason.

Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001504705

I'm an insomniac. Ambien is my best friend. -- Johnny Weir
Johnny Weir Quotes : pic 001687012
