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.

It's sexy and beautiful to be strong.

I'd like to keep my personal life private. In reality, I know that's not possible. In the present, I'm trying to pretend it's possible.

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 went from being married to living on my own in L.A., to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent. It's awesome. I love it!

The history of skiing is important to me.

Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.
