Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

The short program is definitely tequila. But top-shelf tequila, not the kind that makes you want to kill yourself the next day. It's very spicy and very Latin and a little bit dirty toward the end. The free program is a very, very old vintage red wine. It's very smooth and dramatic and dark in places. Yes, I'd say tequila and red wine is this year. Bad mix, but good when they're separate.
