Ninety percent of the day is working out. Sometimes I get my nails done and go to the grocery store.
The Olympics are what I work for. They're why I spend so much time in the gym.
Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day.
I really like figure skating.
I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.
Even growing up, I was always the helper-outer, the sous-chef to my parents.
I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.
I never thought my face would be on the cover of a Red Bull Six Pack.
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 wish it didn't take soooooo much to get physically to where I need to be.
My goal, for almost my entire career, has been to promote ski racing not just in America, but across the world. I think it's an amazing sport. I am happy to be an ambassador for the next Olympics and I will do my best to honour the Olympics spirit and to hopefully encourage kids to participate in sports, especially in Asia and Korea and I am looking forward to an amazing Olympics.
I don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.
It's sexy and beautiful to be strong.
I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.
