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.

[Q: So, Johnny, what's your biggest retail regret?]

When I first started to spend money on clothes, for a long time I only bought things that were really, really trendy. I remember one of the first purchases were $400 dollar Dolce & Gabbana jeans with patches, stripes and stars all over them. I was so proud of them when I bought them, and then I got home and was like, "What am I going to wear this with? I only have sneakers! I'm sixteen!"
