A biography for Johnny Weirhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm different, and I have to be a warrior to be that way. But I have had some success; I hope I have touched the lives of some wonderful people, all by being what I see as myself but some others people see as different.”
“Whether I moved people to throw punches or cry, I did that through my art and what I do. I would never take that experience away to race against a speedometer. Or play on a team.”
“There's a lot in my closet. I've been collecting things since I was five. I'm definitely a pack rat. I'm not a hoarder, but I'm definitely a pack rat. I will keep anything if I have a memory in it or a good moment.”
“Anytime you get men in glitter, it's a flamboyant occasion!”
“I feel like at the Olympics I gave the best performance of my life and I wasn't rewarded for that as an athlete. Yes, my fans and my mom were happy about it, but I didn't win that gold medal.”
“I've never been invited to do 'Stars on Ice' before, which is the only figure skating tour in the U.S., and it's disappointing that I can't perform for my American fans... all because I'm not 'family friendly' enough.”
“The gymnastic events are really what I tune into the Summer Olympics for.”
“To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.”
“I'm very inspired by the artfulness and soulfulness of the Russian people.”
“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.”
“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.”
“If I wanted to be any woman in the world, it would not be Bethenny Frankel.”
“I'm not really one to go out in public in dresses too often. I definitely mix it up between masculine and feminine all the time, but wearing a dress goes a little bit too far.”
“I will be 60 or 70 years old still rocking my Chanel blazer with my hair all coiffed.”
“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.”
“So many people in the gay community have always asked me to come out, say it like it is, and help our cause. But for me... I think my biggest statement I could give to the world is to be strong being myself... you have to make something of yourself, and that's what makes us strong.”
“I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.”
“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.'”
“I grew my beard out a little bit just to show that, indeed, I am a man.”
“I drink Vitamin Water nonstop - I should have an IV.”
