The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.
Johnny Weir
Image
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
Image
I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.
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.

I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
Johnny Weir
Image
To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.

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.

I would love to be a spokes model for Karl Lagerfeld or Balenciaga or something like that.

I will be 60 or 70 years old still rocking my Chanel blazer with my hair all coiffed.

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
Image
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.

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
Image
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’ve held onto Ugg boots. I will never graduate to Crocs, but Ugg boots are always and forever. That’s my fashion stepchild.

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've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.

Image
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.

Image
Every little boy should be so lucky as to turn into me.

I'm a tough person. I wasn't afraid of other kids because I understood that someday they'd wash my car.
