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

When my parents were getting divorced, I just said to myself, 'Go to sleep, and tomorrow you can go skiing.' I cried myself to sleep, and in the morning I was up on the mountain, and I was good.

I've been to a lot of photo shoots and I see these girls that are just really thin. They're not healthy. They don't work out.

There are times when one certain snow condition is great for one particular brand of skis.

I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.

Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.

Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.
