I use men's skis because, honestly, they work better for me. They're longer, they're stiffer, they're harder to turn - but at the same time, they're much more stable.

I enjoyed trying everything. I'd never get a chance to try fencing or archery if it wasn't for this. It was really fun experience.

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.

Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.

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

Just in general, staying healthy and active is important.

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