Even growing up, I was always the helper-outer, the sous-chef to my parents.

I'm not trying to race the whole men's tour; I just want to race one time. If you know me, which most people on the World Cup do, they know that this is a legitimate goal of mine and not a publicity stunt.

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.

Records are the only thing that remain of an athlete, the only thing that people will remember. If I want to ensure that people don't forget me, I can only stop once I've set the bar as high as possible for anyone coming after me.

Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.

I can't picture myself being the people I always looked up to.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.
