One of the really important things about the Olympics is, to enjoy yourself, you have to accept that it's different and feed off the enthusiasm of everyone and the inspiration and hopefully that will elevate your performance.

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.

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

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

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

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

Despite all the pressure and the caliber of accomplishment, I still can honestly say that it's not all about winning.
