You have to be a little crazy to be a downhill skier.

I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.

People get nervous driving around corners, thinking they're going to tip over. But you can go soooo much faster through the curves than you realize.

I love the cowbell. I think it's awesome. My family got the cowbell app on their iPhones. It's a classic part of ski racing.

You can get a big gust of wind, and your Olympics are over.

If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that's hard to take.

Ski racing is not about how much you weigh. If weight was the key, everybody would be sucking down food.
