Despite the usual idea of a figure skater, I have no rhythm when it comes to even walking off the ice. I fall off curbs all the time.

More quotes by Johnny Weir
To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.
Johnny Weir
If just one person, one child who is made to feel isolated, looks at me and sees that it is okay to be your own person and walk down your own path, then everything I have ever gone through will be worth it.
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
Out of ugly, make something beautiful.
Johnny Weir
I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
Johnny Weir
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
I showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and I’m glad I learned from it.
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.
Johnny Weir
I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.
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
Finding someone to share your life with is one of the most important things a human can do and was preached to me by my mother.
Johnny Weir
I'm going to be a happy housewife. I'm going to be washing boxers and cooking and doing all those sorts of housewife duties. I just want to be happy and proud of every single day.
Johnny Weir
My family, the support of my friends, the amount of people that have written and come up to me on the street and said, 'Thank you for representing us,' and Adam Lambert, and Lady Gaga, that's been amazing.
Johnny Weir
I'd say in general, my style is Johnny Weir style. It's my style. I can't classify it as anything else.
Johnny Weir
You only live once. Life is a show
Johnny Weir
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
Johnny Weir
I would love to be a spokes model for Karl Lagerfeld or Balenciaga or something like that.
Johnny Weir
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
I'm hoping my presence alone in Russia will be a show of strength for the Russian LGBT community.
Johnny Weir
I've never thought of the Olympics as a political statement. I really think a boycott ... is in the wrong as far as the athletes are concerned.
