ice cubes want
I don't want to spend my life on an ice cube.
athlete should should-i
I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.
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.
secret fans fur
I'm a huge fur fan; it's no secret to anyone anymore.
fashion writing eye
Being in the public eye is part of what I do, and taking on a multitude of different projects - television, radio, fashion, writing or deep-sea diving - is a blessing. It is also how I pay my bills and fund my own skating, as I don't have a sponsor or financial help from my federation.
sex believe sleep
Masculinity is what you believe it to be. I think masculinity and femininity is something that's very old-fashioned. There's a whole new generation of people who aren't defined by their sex or race or who they like to sleep with.
football fashion strong
For me, I skate as masculine as I can. I'm not a big strong guy. I'm not interested in fighting or throwing punches or balling my hands in fists all day. I'm not interested in guns, I'm not interested in football or stereotypically masculine things, so I'm going to skate in a fashion that is manly for Johnny Weir.
athlete judging want
When you are an athlete, it's difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.
fashion ideas ice
To sum up my idea of on-ice costume fashion sense, it's probably that too much is never enough.
boys cereal special
I'm not commercial, I'm not for Special K cereal and I'm not a Wheaties boy; I'm a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more out there.
different video skating
I've always wanted to make a music video with skating and different imagery, something very artistic.
skating looks elements
To me, skating should look effortless even when you're doing the hardest of elements.
kings mean men
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.'
