Johnny Weir On The Level Of Taste In Figure Skating
"The taste level of figure skating is a little bit suspect. It is, after all, a sport, and people will try to do anything to win a gold medal. ... 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."
