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.

I've been myself my whole life.

The same people who recognize I came out with no medals should recognize I could have won three.

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

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

I have an eight-year-old girl and she does have some appreciation for fashion, but she's stuck in that: "Oh my God, this is cute" phase, so when I go shopping with her and my wife, I can only last about 10 minutes before I have to start exploring other parts of the store.

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