One kid's old, used-up equipment is another kid's brand-new, awesome, awesome equipment.

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. Join not having excuses. Join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. Join the unwillingness to give up. Join doing things your way. Join not joining. Join that purpose is stronger than outcome. Join your gut. Join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. Join play. Join the hunger to find what makes you happy. Join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. Join your philosophy. Join something bigger than you. Join what you believe.

I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

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.

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.

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.

I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.
