Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.
