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.

[What do you think defines the worth of a person?]

The worth of a person is defined by who they are deep down inside. Stripped of all the exterior arrogance, beauty, ignorance, and so on, people should be defined on who they are and what they feel. This is a strange question because I've never been asked it, but essentially I think people are their most alive and REAL first thing in the morning, before they've had time to think up their first snappy punchline, or brush their hair. Reality of self is what defines a person. Thank you for such a "thinky" question!
