Once Weir began describing his free skate, though, the energy in his voice rose sharply. Instead of performing to the romantic music he usually favors, the two-time U.S. champion will show off a modern twist in tonight's Campbell's International Figure Skating Classic. It's a little edgier program, and the music is piano with a techno background, ... It's special because it's different.

I'm not going to sugarcoat anything or change the way I speak about others or certain things in the world just because I'm a figure skater and I have to appeal to these people. That's not why I figure skate. If I appeal to myself and my mother, I'm happy with that. I don't 'front,' as they say.

We were yelling at people. It was the first time I really wanted to be able to speak something so I could get my point across. I was walking around in the cold for 30 minutes figuring out how I was going to get here. I was swearing, I was not listening to my music, I was calling people and swearing. I was very, very unprofessional, but I needed to get here.
