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.

One of those busy days when by the end, you don’t have the energy to vacuum as planned, so you throw on your eatin’ dress and drag yourself around the house instead.  #cleaning #selflove #fitness

Boyfriend Application: Scrubs pots. Needs to moisturize elbows. Sings off key. Forgets lyrics.

Amendments to boyfriend application: 1. Sings hymns from Sister Act 2, off key 2. Adores Windex 3. Is thankful he can laugh at himself. Happy Thanksgiving America!

There’s nothing like the machismo I feel when I’ve got a big bottle of bleach in one hand and a super scrubber in the other, as I gaze out over a pristine bathroom while donning my framboise bleachin’ dress.

I did take Windex with me to Tokyo so I could satisfy my cleaning OCD whilst abroad, but so excited that I woke up at 5 today from jet-lag so I could clean one piece of onion skin from my veggie drawer that then begat a top to bottom kitchen clean-up.

One mustn’t cry over spilt milk. One must endeavor to clean up the spilt milk before it destroys your countertops.

Someone told me I’m supposed to feed my rose bushes. What do they eat? Like...local children? Whipped cream? Sharks?

So I'm in my new house, cleaning, and a fly got in somehow. And please riddle me this: Have you ever chased a fly with an entire vacuum cleaner simply because you had nothing else to kill it with?

I don’t have a lot of time for anything. I don’t have a personal life, I have very few friendly outings, I am constantly on an airplane and working. I’m very busy and Windex hotel rooms for fun.

Got asked the most uncommon things I travel with. 1. Magic Erasers 2. Bottle of Windex 3. Mini replica of Тёма

I am exceedingly threatened by those robot vacuum cleaners.

I feel like dressing is a performance. I don't dress to attract a man or a lady; I want people to put me on their shelf and dust me. I want to be a tchotchke, an art installation.

No place I feel more like an idiot than in a home improvement superstore. "Sssir, where's the thing you use to tighten the knobby things?" "A wrench?" "No it's different. It's squiggly."

Prepping for LA tomorrow by extreme OCD cleaning. I've spent a month away from my Windex...a month too long.

I caught the fever and decorated early for the holidays. There's nothing more exhausting than being an OCD clean freak AND a glitter fiend.

The fight for daily flawlessness is a hard battle, but if you’re organized and believe in yourself, anything is possible.

Like clockwork, the vacuum comes out and does her best lines this week. She rounds the bends, finds her way under the overstuffed and fluffed couch the same way she does every night.

At 11:30 p.m. on that idle Monday night, I look from the magnifying mirror to the full-sized mirror and notice a stealthy, glazed-over eyeball staring back at me. It’s similar to the ones on Great White Sharks we see every summer on Discovery.
