More quotes by 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
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
The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
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
I grew my beard out a little bit just to show that indeed I am a man.
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.
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
I’ve held onto Ugg boots. I will never graduate to Crocs, but Ugg boots are always and forever. That’s my fashion stepchild.
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
I'm a tough person. I wasn't afraid of other kids because I understood that someday they'd wash my car.
Johnny Weir
Nothing shocks me anymore. I've embraced men in thongs, I've embraced women with padded bras. I mean, I can embrace Larry King saying 'fierce.'
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
The booing and the drama help make the Olympics interesting, but at what cost? When will people finally get tired of it and start watching the X-Games or competitive tire rolling instead?
Johnny Weir
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like 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
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
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
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.
Johnny Weir
I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
