I'm not trying to race the whole men's tour; I just want to race one time. If you know me, which most people on the World Cup do, they know that this is a legitimate goal of mine and not a publicity stunt.

For someone to say I am overweight is completely ridiculous.

My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.

The history of skiing is important to me.

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.

I'm not an idiot; I try not to look, but I see what people say about me on Facebook. I see other things written. But I don't care.
