It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.

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

When you fall down, just get up again.

My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.

When I get on the World Cup tour, I'm kind of disconnected from the world. I just kind of get wrapped up in my world and wrapped up in trying to ski fast every day, and I forget about everything else.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

I wouldn't change being married. It was good for me, and I was happy for a period of time, and I learned a lot about myself.
