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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
I'm hoping my presence alone in Russia will be a show of strength for the Russian LGBT community.

You only live once. Life is a show
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 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 grew my beard out a little bit just to show that indeed I am a man.
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
Masculinity is what you believe it to be. I think masculinity and femininity is something that's very old-fashioned. There's a whole new generation of people who aren't defined by their sex or race or who they like to sleep with.
Johnny Weir
Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me.
Johnny Weir
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.
Johnny Weir
I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.
Johnny Weir
I am often criticized for spending too much time off the ice, but if you were in my shoes, you'd see how necessary it is.
Johnny Weir
I will be 60 or 70 years old still rocking my Chanel blazer with my hair all coiffed.
Johnny Weir
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
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
There are some things I keep sacred. My middle name. Who I sleep with. And what kind of hand moisturizer I use.
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.
