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

The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

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.

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.

At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.

Some people say I make mistakes. I just say that this is the secret of enjoying life. I hate monotony. Why don't they leave me freedom of choice? People want to impose choices which aren't necessarily mine. That's the mistake people make.
