When you're young, you develop ways to win, and you think they will always work, but then you get to the top, competing against the other top athletes, and sometimes things don't work.

I've never once heard my mom complain about her stroke.

I don't know if I'll ever get used to the idea that strangers know who I am. I don't know if I want to.

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

I think the most important thing in skiing is you have to be having fun. If you're having fun, then everything else will come easy to you.

I take risks - that's my life on the slopes and off.

I hate being helpless, and I hate having to ask people to do things for me.
