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

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.

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 enjoy just showing people other sides of me, especially everyone always sees me in my helmet and ski suit. It's nice to just show everyone me, just me in my everyday clothes or just me in high heels or just me not in my ski gear, basically.

I wish it didn't take soooooo much to get physically to where I need to be.

Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day.

I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.
