I don't look at it like that's my rival and I have to beat her. It's more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that's what I expect.

I'm social and I meet people and talk to people but I'm not looking for the ideal person to fit my mold and to raise my family with yet. I'm just kind of doing my thing and learning from the people I'm around and who I cross paths with.

Every once in a while I run the Olympic downhill in Japan in my head. I think of how the energy is going to flow and then I make it all work for myself.

To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.

I'm the kind of person that when I really want something, I wish for it. I wish on shooting stars. I wish on lots of things.

But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.
