I never felt sidelined, I was supported by my friends, my family and my team. I always knew I could do it. I had confidence in myself.

Especially when I'm in the gym, I get really motivated by hip-hop.

Life's short, you know? Especially as an athlete. Your career is very short, and you use the opportunities that you have because you're not going to have them again.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

When I train against men, I always find that I push myself harder to my absolute maximum.

Skiing takes so much out of me, and when I start a family, I want to do it 100%.
