The life of an athlete does have to be lonely and you have to be focused on your craft and what you do. Loneliness is just a sacrifice you make as an Olympic-level athlete. Johnny Weir athletecraftfocus Change image and share on social
To be honest, I just want to go somewhere where I can wear a white Speedo. Johnny Weir honestspeedowear Change image and share on social
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 applicableapplychanel share on social
I've always had a loud mouth, and for that I've gotten a lot of attention. I did falter in some big competitions in my career, but being counted out and not being seen as a threat is something I'm used to. Johnny Weir attentionbigcareer share on social
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. Johnny Weir americandisappointfamily share on social
I never ever wanted to change my sport... Figure skating was my outlet, it was my breath, it was how I could live and transmit everything I was feeling and everything I had worked for and given up and all these sacrifices I'd made throughout the years. It was how I could make them all worth it. Johnny Weir breathchangefelt share on social
I have been a figure skater for so long that when I stopped that competitive day-to-day grind, I didn't know what to do with myself. I don't know how the world works outside of being barked at by a Ukrainian woman and watching my weight. Johnny Weir barkcompetitiveday share on social
I'm going to skate exactly the way I want to, create programs that I like, and everything will fall into place where it is supposed to. Johnny Weir createfallplace Change image and share on social
I hate summer, to be honest. I hate dressing. I hate the heat. I hate sweaty people getting aggressively close to you when you're walking down the street. Johnny Weir aggressivelyclosedress Change image and share on social
I'd love to learn how to foxtrot and cha cha. Believe it or not, I have terrible dancing skills. I can do everything on the ice, but as soon as you put me on the ground, I'm that person that falls down walking off a curb. Johnny Weir chacurbdance share on social
