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.

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

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

In some ways, that's the story of my season - when I wasn't making big mistakes, I was winning races and being on the podium. And when I made mistakes I was still fourth or fifth, just off the podium.

Once the season starts for me, there isn't a change in my focus, just a change in my tactics and strategies.

I like to keep my private life private for the most part.

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.
