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.

My goal, for almost my entire career, has been to promote ski racing not just in America, but across the world. I think it's an amazing sport. I am happy to be an ambassador for the next Olympics and I will do my best to honour the Olympics spirit and to hopefully encourage kids to participate in sports, especially in Asia and Korea and I am looking forward to an amazing Olympics.

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

If you work hard, it will pay off in the end.

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 have a race routine. I have a team of people helping me. I have winning habits. I believe in myself. I have balance in my life.

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