I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.

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.

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

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.

Do not waste your life.

Good luck is just bad luck with its hair combed.

I always keep myself in a position of being a student.

My ambition was always to show aspects of daily life as if we were seeing them for the first time.

The wider our contemplation of creation, the grander is our conception of God.

Our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact on others' happiness.

We are standing on a whale fishing for minnows.

What is it about sameness that so draws me, and how could I begin to have that same kind of attraction to change?

Oh would some power the gift give us, to see ourselves as others see us!

It is the mysterious that I love in painting. It is the stillness and the silence. I want my pictures to take effect very slowly, to obsess and to haunt.
