Eventually I'd like to have a family. I'd like to not be limping around when I'm 50 years old.

I tried retiring a couple of times and it just didn't really stick so, but at some point enough things conspire together and it does stick.

The best way to protect your own freedom is to watch everybody else's back. That's the essence of community.

A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.

It is not that I don't recognize the danger in ski racing, but that I don't fear the consequences.

Sometimes it's all about the win, sometimes it's about the skiing.

I don't put anything in front of taking ski racing and sports seriously.

Sometimes I'm disciplined, but I like to be a total slacker, too. I party hard, but I train hard.

I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.

Obviously, you always want to win, but you want to win by skiing a race that you're proud of and you feel like you really challenged yourself and left it all out there.

It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.

Feelings, rationale and values are the top qualities that make a person exceedingly human.

We are all guests on this earth. We come and we go. All of us. The oppressors and the oppressed, the weak and the strong. We are all here for a mere moment.

I am not in the habit of taking baritones to supper.

I came to this office to solve problems, and not pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.

My style is quite clean, vintage, and almost French in a way.

I don't have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

"Rituals" don't make you righteous, it's uprightness: living up to moral principles and ethical principles, and submitting to universal law established by God.

Living your purpose will require a HUGE amount of faith, courage, tenacity and perseverance.

I have failed at many things, but I have never been afraid.

I want to learn how to pick locks, swordfight, throw pottery - it's all research. It's like the curious person's version of James Bond's license to kill. I've got a license to learn.
