I take risks - that's my life on the slopes and off.

Being on one crutch to no crutches is a huge difference.

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

When I get on the World Cup tour, I'm kind of disconnected from the world. I just kind of get wrapped up in my world and wrapped up in trying to ski fast every day, and I forget about everything else.

Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

Life changes very quickly in a very positive way if you let it.

I don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.
