More quotes by Johnny Weir
When you have an audience standing and screaming the entire way through the short program and cheering every element you do, whether it's footwork, or spin, or a jump, to have that kind of emotion coming at you from every direction in the building, it's the most amazing sensation you can get as a sportsman.

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.
Johnny Weir
I'm not commercial, I'm not for Special K cereal and I'm not a Wheaties boy I'm a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more out there.
Johnny Weir
I design all of my costumes. I like to go out there and feel like I have contributed to every part of what I do. I choose the music, the choreographer, I've obviously chosen my coach, my costumes - all if that falls under my realm of power, my realm of influence.

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. I think that's why, even not being an Olympic champion, I have such a huge following around the world.
Johnny Weir
It's really grinding to always play out of both sides of your mind and always be thinking what will offend people. Or what won't. But I'm strong enough to deal with that. I own that I'm freakish in my way.
Johnny Weir
For me, I skate as masculine as I can. I'm not a big strong guy. I'm not interested in fighting or throwing punches or balling my hands in fists all day. I'm not interested in guns, I'm not interested in football or stereotypically masculine things, so I'm going to skate in a fashion that is manly for Johnny Weir.
Johnny Weir
I grew my beard out a little bit just to show that indeed I am a man.
Johnny Weir
Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me.

I'm a tough person. I wasn't afraid of other kids because I understood that someday they'd wash my car.
Johnny Weir
The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
Johnny Weir
Figure skating is theatrical, and a part of it is wearing costumes. My costumes were very over-the-top and outrageous for figure skating. But for me, it's all beautiful. Even when nobody else believed they were beautiful, I felt beautiful in them.
Johnny Weir
I’m good when I’m alone. I’m comfortable when I’m alone. I can sit and do lots of things all by myself. Sex included.
