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.

That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way.

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.

It's nice, being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success, so that makes it a bunch easier.

The way I judge myself is not on how many World Cups I can win in a row.

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

Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.
