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.

["Ask the athlete" question from a fan: What was your first real celebratory meal?]

I haven't had a celebratory meal yet because as soon as I was done skating, I was ushered through a mix zone, and then, I had drug testing and had to pee in a cup, and I didn't fill it enough the first time, so I had to do a half doping test, and then I had to wait until I had to pee again so I filled the rest of the cup, and by the time I got home it was 12:30, and all I wanted to do was go to bed, so I didn't eat, but tonight I'll be having a beautiful celebratory dinner with my family. And, I think, I think I'm definitely in the mood for some kind of fried product. I haven't had fried products in a long time. So I'm looking forward to that.
