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

That feeling is the same whether you're on either side of the hundredths. Obviously, it's great to win the world championship, but if you put down that kind of skiing, it's awesome either way.

Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.

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

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts.

Obviously, you always want to win, but you want to win by skiing a race that you're proud of and you feel like you really challenged yourself and left it all out there.
