The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

I still love racing and the challenge of it, but at some point, you get to a place where you're perfectly happy moving on and doing other stuff.

The same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three.
