I've been myself my whole life.

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.

I'm on the last great journey here--and people ant me to tell them what to pack.

Just know that I was once considered just a dreamer... Then I paid my dues and turned so many doubters to believers.

The first time I heard a Billie Holiday record, I thought, 'What's so great about Billie Holiday?'

I guess I accidentally became a part of history. Honestly, when you're young and you're a designer, you have a goal, but that is not the kind of goal that you even think it's possible to achieve.

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.

I think theater will always be my first love. Ive been doing it since I was nine, and theres nothing quite like being on stage, having the immediate intake of energy and exchange of ideas.
