thinking legs males
I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.
athlete artist feels
I definitely feel like I'm more of an artist than an athlete. But I'm good at both.
shoes ice too-much
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.
fashion eye thinking
I think being in the public eye can only help me launch into the world of fashion.
art want costumes
I want to create things while I have time on Earth, and the art of costume and culture has always inspired me.
stars ice quality
I wouldn't participate in 'Stars on Ice' if I were asked. I find it an amateurish tour in a way, the production quality.
style i-can
I'd say in general, my style is Johnny Weir style. It's my style. I can't classify it as anything else.
fun athlete passion
I still have so much passion to perform... That's who Johnny Weir is: I'm a figure skater, I'm an athlete. I want to have fun and enjoy it.
mom athlete winning
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.
different video skating
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
fall design costumes
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.
beautiful costumes skating
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.
girl jobs men
I am an American man, and in America, we still think of figure skaters as little girls in pretty, sparkly dresses - I worked very hard to change the perception and image of figure skating, and I think I've done a great job on my end, but in figure skating, taste needs to evolve.
