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

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

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'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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
