More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. It is also how I pay my bills and fund my own skating, as I don't have a sponsor or financial help from my federation.

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
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
The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
Johnny Weir
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.
Johnny Weir
To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.
Johnny Weir
I'm hoping my presence alone in Russia will be a show of strength for the Russian LGBT community.
Johnny Weir
There are some things I keep sacred. My middle name. Who I sleep with. And what kind of hand moisturizer I use.
Johnny Weir
I wouldn't participate in 'Stars on Ice' if I were asked. I find it an amateurish tour in a way, the production quality.
Johnny Weir
I'm different, and I have to be a warrior to be that way. But I have had some success I hope I have touched the lives of some wonderful people, all by being what I see as myself but some others people see as different.
Johnny Weir
I showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and I’m glad I learned from it.
Johnny Weir
I'm a tough person. I wasn't afraid of other kids because I understood that someday they'd wash my car.
Johnny Weir
I played soccer, and I was the kid who ran the wrong way, or I was pretending to be some sort of zebra and I would flail my arms and kick up my legs.
Johnny Weir
To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.
