otonal.tumblr.com/там много всего забавного, но больше всего мне понравились цитаты - многое из этого я не видела.
“Evan has called me Swan since the Olympics for obvious reasons, sometimes he even says ‘Little Swan’ in a Russian accent, but in general, Swan. He even got Tanith saying that. I call Evan Mongoose because at the Olympics we had a joke of always talking in Midwestern, Minnesota, Illinois accents and Mongoose sounds funny if you say it like that. Mongoose is also just a completely different animal than a swan, like Evan and I and it was a cute, funny nickname. Evan didn’t know what a mongoose was, so I had to tell them it’s a rodent that eats snakes like Riki Tiki Tavi and I think he got it. In any event, I have a strange sense of humor and I love that nickname.” —

• Q: Hey, Johnny, I'm a huge fan and I was just wondering...With all of the traveling you do, do you ever have time for romantic relationships?
• A: I did at one time, but then I found out that it's too hard to have both work and a relationship. I am just skating now, nothing else and that's how it could end up for the next four years.
• Q: Hi Johnny! First of all, you're an outstanding skater! I'd like to ask you what you think of one of the most criticized movies of the last season, Brokeback Mountain. I read it is among your favourite movies, and I'd like to know why. Thanks!
• A: It's a beautiful love story. Straight, gay, bisexual, it doesn't matter. It's a love story. I liked the angst in the film and I like the long distance side of the story. I think in one way or another, many people could relate to something in that movie.
• Q: Does Denis Petukhov (American ice dancer) really call you "my wife"?
• Johnny Weir: And for Denis and for Evgeny Plushenko, I call them “muzh” (husband in Russian), just because it’s so funny. And when Denis and I started to do the program with Melissa, he said like “Oh, I have two wives now!” You know, I’m not so much bigger than Melissa Gregory (Denis' wife), we both have brown hair, and I look a little bit like a woman, so I was “zhena” (wife in Russian), and he - “muzh”.

“Before I end [this blog entry], I want to make a special note for everyone who has decided to take it upon themselves to be original and write Johnny Weir a hate mail. I’ve heard “pussy,” “disgrace,” “narcissistic,” “faggot,” “princess,” “mentally unstable,” embarrassment,” “queeny,” “I hope we’re not related,” “out of control,” “retarded,” “stupid,” “queer,” “ugly,” and many many other lovely things, so try to be more original at least. Oh and F*** You too!”

“Wait until you see the white tights … If you think the Olympians have good (…) already, they are on full display in white pants. We had a meeting the first day I was here and I was sitting next to the Bobsleigh girls – they’re really strong women. And they were sitting there with their plates of food and stuff and we were all discussing underwear. I had some white and grey and stripey underwear on that day when I tried all the clothes and you could see them in the white tights and we were like, ‘Well, I’ll just free ball it’.”

“…all of a sudden I was causing a stir because I was wearing a chinchilla scarf that someone thought was a boa. First of all, boas are so out. Secondly, I would never wear a boa to a press conference.”
