I showed myself a lesser version of myself that night, and Iām glad I learned from it.
Johnny WeirIt's of very little importance to me that I was born gay. It doesn't make me a better athlete, it doesn't make me a stronger person, it doesn't really do anything to enhance my life. It's just something I was born with, the same as green eyes.
Johnny WeirI 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.
Johnny WeirI'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.
