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.

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 want to be known for my athletic achievements, not my celebrity.

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

Facebook and Twitter have changed how people follow ski racing. In past Olympics, you couldn't stay in touch with the fan base that followed you during the Olympics. They thought they had to wait four years to reconnect.

Mascara is my go-to product before stepping out of the house.

My childhood dream was to win the Olympics, and I've done that. Everything else is icing on the cake.
