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

Arousal-control has been an issue for me since the beginning of my career.

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.

Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.

There's been times when I've been in really tough shape at the top of the course. Talk about a hard challenge right there. I mean, if you ever tried to ski when you're wasted, it's not easy. Try and ski a slalom when … you hit a gate less than every one a second, so it's risky, you know. You're putting your life at risk there. It's like driving drunk only there's no rules about it in ski racing.

Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.
