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.

Nobody needs to prove to anybody what they're worthy of, just the person that they look at in the mirror. That's the only person you need to answer to.

Follow your dreams as long as you live! Never be afraid to go out on the limb to live up to your expectations. Always do things your way and Have Fun!

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.

There are two ways to learn anything. An interesting way and a boring way. I like the interesting way.

The one thing I've learned to do that I never thought I had the ability to do is I don't watch CNN anymore.

Without TV, it's hard to know when one day ends and another begins.

You know how you put peanut butter on a piece of bread and the bread falls - it never falls on the bread side down, it always falls peanut butter side down. That's because of gravity.
