I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.

But there was no question in my mind that I was gonna still go for it. I was still going for the win. I wasn't skiing for second or third place today, and in the end I think that's probably what got me there.

I would say most of my style is driven by functionality and comfort.

When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.

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

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

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.
