For sure, 2010 was the best year I've ever had. It couldn't have gone any better for me. Even if I just won the Olympic gold medal, that would have made it the best year of my career and the best day of my life, period. Winning the World Cup races and the overall title just topped it off.

Ski racing is not about how much you weigh. If weight was the key, everybody would be sucking down food.

I get up early, but it doesn't mean I like getting up early.

Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.

The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery, there's nothing really magical that I can do that's going to make it better. I just can get my leg stronger, my muscle stronger and try and support it a little more. But that has a small impact. My knee is loose, and it's not stable, and that's the way it's going to be from here on out.

People get nervous driving around corners, thinking they're going to tip over. But you can go soooo much faster through the curves than you realize.

I went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent. It's awesome. I love it!

It's hard to give tips to skiers if I don't know how they ski, but I think the most important thing in skiing is you have to be having fun. If you're having fun, then everything else will come easy to you.

The Olympics are what I work for. They're why I spend so much time in the gym.

I won't lie - I picked up the occasional gossip magazine in the past because I thought that maybe 5 to 10 percent of it was true. Now I think it's zero percent.

My mom is positive and optimistic.

I'm not trying to race the whole men's tour; I just want to race one time. If you know me, which most people on the World Cup do, they know that this is a legitimate goal of mine and not a publicity stunt.

There is a dessert dish in Austria called Kaiserschmarrn - it's kind of like a sweet raisin pancake with eggs and sugar. It's definitely not something I can eat often, but if I've done well at a race, sometimes that's my celebration treat!

It's difficult to be at events with a room full of women who weigh half as much as you do.

I have three cows, and I'm looking forward to more in the future, so I'll have a little herd.

I love the cowbell. I think it's awesome. My family got the cowbell app on their iPhones. It's a classic part of ski racing.

I've always heard that heli-skiing in Alaska is amazing. I would love to be able to do that at some point in my life.

I ski very aggressively, and the angles that I create with my body are similar to some of the male racers.

If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that's hard to take.

Since childhood, sports has been one of the most important influences in my life.

I've been to a lot of photo shoots, and I see these girls that are just really thin. They're not healthy. They don't work out.

I'm not trying to get five medals. I'm not trying to be Michael Phelps.

When my parents were getting divorced, I just said to myself, 'Go to sleep, and tomorrow you can go skiing.' I cried myself to sleep, and in the morning I was up on the mountain, and I was good.

I have a race routine. I have a team of people helping me. I have winning habits. I believe in myself. I have balance in my life.

I'd like to keep my personal life private. In reality, I know that's not possible. In the present, I'm trying to pretend it's possible.

Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.

I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and it's such a funny show. I don't know if I'm funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it.

My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.

You can get a big gust of wind, and your Olympics are over.

When I get on the World Cup tour, I'm kind of disconnected from the world. I just kind of get wrapped up in my world and wrapped up in trying to ski fast every day, and I forget about everything else.

In the winter, I'm always in Europe. July and September are New Zealand and Chile camps. I'm always on the road.

I have a little Nintendo DS, and I play these brain games that are supposed to stimulate your mind.

I wish it didn't take soooooo much to get physically to where I need to be.

I take risks - that's my life on the slopes and off.

I can't picture myself being the people I always looked up to.

Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.

I'm not an idiot; I try not to look, but I see what people say about me on Facebook. I see other things written. But I don't care.

I feel like, with ski racing, you need to have a short memory. You crash all the time, and sometimes it's a really bad one, but sometimes it's not so bad.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.

I wouldn't change being married. It was good for me, and I was happy for a period of time, and I learned a lot about myself.

Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.

A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.

When you're young, you develop ways to win, and you think they will always work, but then you get to the top, competing against the other top athletes, and sometimes things don't work.

I don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.

I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

Vail Resorts School of Shred program is a great way to help encourage kids to stay active by getting them outside and on the mountain.

It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.

An overall title is one of the biggest things you can win in our sport.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.
