You only live once. Life is a show

I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.

I'm hoping my presence alone in Russia will be a show of strength for the Russian LGBT community.
Johnny Weir
Image
I’m good when I’m alone. I’m comfortable when I’m alone. I can sit and do lots of things all by myself. Sex included.

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.

Image
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.
Johnny Weir
Image
I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn't participate in 'Stars on Ice' if I were asked. I find it an amateurish tour in a way, the production quality.

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
Image
I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.

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.

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.

I drink Vitamin Water nonstop - I should have an IV.

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.
