came eating everybody experience factory food high industrial public revolution room school silent system terrible
It makes sense that we came up with our public school system during the Industrial Revolution because it's like everybody is a factory worker, eating their terrible food and going back to the room where you're silent and listening to an idiot. That's an epitomizing idea, getting called 'Nothing' for your whole high school experience.
certainly further maybe might move role
I like a role that is challenging. That's what I look for and I'm certainly always looking to move further and maybe push myself into a place that might be temporarily uncomfortable so that I might learn something.
classic conception outdated privileged respond slightly woody
You know, I was really privileged to meet Woody Allen, who is now a filmmaker, let's be honest. He's also an actor. And he's classic. And because I have no conception of what classic fashion is now, I respond to his slightly outdated sensibilities.
couple together sticks
I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.
essence community democracy
The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.
school snowboarding skinny
I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted.
winning sometimes skiing
Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.
karma fun giving-up
Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.
racing danger skis
It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.
heart people listening
At the end of the day, you have to make sure you're at least listening to what your head is telling you, what your heart is telling you. That's hard to do when there are a million other people shouting as loud as they can.
lows adrenaline huge
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
years limping
Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.
running kids wife
Some of them I probably would like. Some of my fans probably beat their wives or run over little kids and they just happen to watch me on TV and like the way I ski. Obviously I clearly wouldn't like that person if I knew 'em better.
racing gone skis
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
