I ski very aggressively, and the angles that I create with my body are similar to some of the male racers.

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

Since childhood, sports has been one of the most important influences in my life.

I've been to a lot of photo shoots, and I see these girls that are just really thin. They're not healthy. They don't work out.

I'm not trying to get five medals. I'm not trying to be Michael Phelps.

When my parents were getting divorced, I just said to myself, 'Go to sleep, and tomorrow you can go skiing.' I cried myself to sleep, and in the morning I was up on the mountain, and I was good.

I have a race routine. I have a team of people helping me. I have winning habits. I believe in myself. I have balance in my life.

I'd like to keep my personal life private. In reality, I know that's not possible. In the present, I'm trying to pretend it's possible.

Making ski racing fun and engaging for kids and families is an exciting opportunity and a real passion of mine.

I love 'Saturday Night Live,' and it's such a funny show. I don't know if I'm funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it.

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

You can get a big gust of wind, and your Olympics are over.

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.

In the winter, I'm always in Europe. July and September are New Zealand and Chile camps. I'm always on the road.

I have a little Nintendo DS, and I play these brain games that are supposed to stimulate your mind.

I wish it didn't take soooooo much to get physically to where I need to be.

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

I can't picture myself being the people I always looked up to.

Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.

I'm not an idiot; I try not to look, but I see what people say about me on Facebook. I see other things written. But I don't care.

I feel like, with ski racing, you need to have a short memory. You crash all the time, and sometimes it's a really bad one, but sometimes it's not so bad.

I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.

I did gymnastics when I was a kid. I wasn't very good at it.

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.

Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.

A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.

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 don't want to leave skiing early. I want to feel like I've done everything I can do.

I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

Vail Resorts School of Shred program is a great way to help encourage kids to stay active by getting them outside and on the mountain.

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

An overall title is one of the biggest things you can win in our sport.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.

For someone to say I am overweight is completely ridiculous.

Tiger Woods makes me a better athlete.

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

Records are the only thing that remain of an athlete, the only thing that people will remember. If I want to ensure that people don't forget me, I can only stop once I've set the bar as high as possible for anyone coming after me.

I can be normal by myself; no one notices me.

I've always loved working, doing interviews with the guys on the 'Today' show; everyone's really easygoing, and I always feel comfortable on the show.

Athletics at the highest level is a sport within a sport.

Ninety percent of the day is working out. Sometimes I get my nails done and go to the grocery store.

The Olympics were the most pressure I've ever felt.

Being on one crutch to no crutches is a huge difference.

Just in general, staying healthy and active is important.

I don't know where I'm supposed to meet a boyfriend. It's weird.

I'm not a crier.

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

My mom is really tough.

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.

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