There's so many guys skiing so fast right now that you really have to be willing to take a lot of risks if you want to give yourself a chance to win. I'm prepared to do it; it's just a matter of if I can make it work.

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.

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

I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.

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

I think four Olympics is probably enough. Five Olympics is a long time, but there's nothing wrong with that if I'm into it and I'm healthy and my priorities can fit around that.

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