A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.

I've been myself my whole life.

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

When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.

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.

When I was little, I spent a lot of time by myself. When other kids were in school, I was skiing and thinking about things. I was alone on the mountain.
