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

Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

I think the most important thing in skiing is you have to be having fun. If you're having fun, then everything else will come easy to you.

I want to keep pushing the limits to see what’s possible. That’s the nice thing about ski racing - no one is stopping you from going faster.

I find folding laundry very relaxing.

If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.

You are only limited to what you push yourself to, you know? You can always get better.

I don't give up easily. I have plans to be around for a while.

I'm never tired of winning, and I'm never tired of skiing.

I always channeled what I felt emotionally into skiing - my insecurities, my anger, my disappointment. Skiing was always my outlet, and it worked.

My vocal chords fought to contain the memories that leaked out

To make yourself something less than you can be - that too is a form of suicide.

When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.

Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.

Never abandon the possibility of attack. Attack even from a position of inferiority, to disrupt the enemy's plans. This often results in improving one's own position.

A lot of cities are making a real effort, neighborhood by neighborhood, to make themselves into a place where life can be pretty good.

For me Greece is Maria Farantouri. This is how I imagined Goddess Hera to be: strong, pure and vigilant. I have never encountered any other artist able to give me such a strong sense of the divine.

God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.

A private Life is to be preferrd; the Honour and Gain of publick Posts, bearing no proportion with the Comfort of it.
