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.

[Many celebrities mark their success as the moment they could afford extravagant items--did you ever have that moment of buying a $27,000 beaded dress just to keep in the closet because it looked pretty?]

I’m a humble figure skater, so I can’t really buy a dress that’s just to wear in the car. But I had that feeling during the *NSync period, so be with me on this--I went to Neiman Marcus and bought this pair of $380 Dolce & Gabbana patchwork jeans. Not even Dolce & Gabbana, they were D&G. They had all different kinds of denim--distressed, with stars on them, some seersucker. They were ridiculous but I kept them because I know they’ll be back in style one day. That’s the first moment when I felt like I could buy something big.

Blogger's note: Johnny has said that those jeans are his biggest retail regret.
