I'm proud to be part of any Olympic team.

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.

Golf is all about patience - one tournament is four days long, 18 holes a day.

The history of skiing is important to me.

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.

If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that's hard to take.

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.
