More quotes by Johnny Weir
I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.
Johnny Weir
Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me.
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.
Johnny Weir
I got into figure skating for the art of it, as well as the sport, and how much I love it. And, you know, I do everything that I want. I march to my own drummer. Sometimes people have an issue with that, and I can't control it.
Johnny Weir
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.
Johnny Weir
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. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.
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 showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and I’m glad I learned from it.
Johnny Weir
I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
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
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
Johnny Weir
I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.
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
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
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
To me, figure skating is an art form, and that's what I always try to bring in, even to my competitive programs.
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'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.
Johnny Weir
In figure skating, your body can only last for so long. I can't be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.
