I’d love to see a 6-foot-2-tall, skinny man doing a halfpipe on figure skates.

More quotes by Johnny Weir

Out of ugly, I think the most important thing to do in life is to make something beautiful.

I want people to be taken away to another planet when they watch me skate. I want them to be transported into a dream world.

I’m not intimidated by anything, except maybe PETA standing outside with a bucket of blood.

If he doesn’t want to skate to music that’s pretty and wear a pretty costume, then go rollerblade or skateboard or do one of those extreme sports.

The results are something I can't control, so I can't say 'damnit, I didn't place in the top three today.' I can't control any of that. I just skate. And my goal was to show my heart, to take them on a journey with me so they can feel me.

And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
