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.

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.

I want people to constantly feel uncomfortable in my house....I want them to come over and feel like they can't sit on anything. I'm very Joan Crawford in that way. I don't want you to sit on my furniture. I don't want you to stay for too long.

I don't want anyone to think that I sneeze, blow my nose, eat, go to the bathroom, nothing. I'm just a plate. I'm just a porcelain white plate in a good outfit that sits there and is stunning.

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

Blogger's note: "Magic Eraser" is a Mr. Clean scrubbing sponge. Тёма is Johnny's adorable Japanese Chin dog.

Moving in a few days so my home is a perfect storm of OCD & nerves. Just told the puppy he was lucky not to be bubble wrapped. He snizzled.

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

I have SO many good luck rituals, depending on various aspects of my life! I have good luck rituals when I fly, I have good luck rituals when I leave my house, I have good luck rituals for everything. I'm pretty mystical in that way.

I need to start getting designer masks. It's flu, cold and ebola season and I won't let them take me down.

There's something so cleansing about getting rid of things that hold bad memories. As a mild hoarder, this may be a statement I take back.

[Tara Lipinski: He doesn't like hands near anything.]

Because then when the oil gets on your fingers, and you touch your face or something and then you get a zit.

[Tara: If you could pick up your coffee cup with tongs, you would.]

I would. And I have!

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.

Just saw "Gravity" and while Sandra and George are national treasures, I am now terrified of outer space, marshmallows and hand grips.

Through marriage I was able to give up my phobias about social situations and not hiding behind my front when I’m with people who matter.
