I really am a thinker. I don't do things rash. I know some of the things I've said or the way I act seem rash. But I do take ownership of it. I don't say things I don't mean.

From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.

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.

Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.

People in the U.S. will watch anything if it's put in front of their face over and over again. I like to see what's possible, more than anything.

I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.

Obviously, you always want to win, but you want to win by skiing a race that you're proud of and you feel like you really challenged yourself and left it all out there.
