enjoy figure good ice movies music sing skating songs trade
Music is fun, but I'm an ice skater. I may sing songs and do shows, make movies and other things... that's all well and good and I enjoy it, and I would never trade any of those for anything. But figure skating is who I am.
amazing audience front ice incredible judge opportunity ourselves shows worrying
Ice shows give us the opportunity to forget ourselves and just perform. They are amazing opportunities to be in front of audience to try out new material, to show new costuming. It's an incredible opportunity to do what we do without the stress of worrying about what a judge is going to say.
ice cubes want
I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.
fashion ideas ice
To sum up my idea of on-ice costume fashion sense, it's probably that too much is never enough.
fall ice ideas
Despite the usual idea of a figure skater, I have no rhythm when it comes to even walking off the ice. I fall off curbs all the time.
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.
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.
ice people flying
I love skating and sparkling and flying around the ice, and people clap for you. It's an amazing feeling.
attention gotten great olympics people responding tiger
I think I've gotten more attention after the Olympics than any other U.S. athlete, and it's really great that people are recognizing who I am and what I do. You look at Shaq and you see a basketball player. You look at Tiger Woods and you see a golfer. But people are responding to who I am.
figure outside skater stopped ukrainian works
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.
family figure invited perform skating tour
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.
athlete craft focused life lonely
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.
best
I'm an insomniac. Ambien is my best friend.
johnny judged love
I want to be judged by who I am, not what I am. I mean, I am Johnny Weir. Judge me the way you see me, love me the way you see me, hate me the way you see me.
