I want kids to have a chance to dream of becoming something like I did in my life, and when you're living in a home that's dysfunctional and unhealthy that way, you don't dream like that.

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!

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.

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.

I'm not following anybody's tracks, I'm making my own, baby.

I've made a promise to myself to be a 100% healthy person if nothing else.

There were mornings when I just didn't want to get out of bed. But once again, I'm in an adverse situation and having to deal with something new and learn how to do it.

But to personally satisfy my own adrenalin needs, I've been racing cars a little bit, which has been fun.

I don't look at it like that's my rival and I have to beat her. It's more like, I have to ski this as fast as I can and the fastest of everyone out here and that's what I expect.

When you're jumping so high for something so far up in the sky, you have to know that there is definitely someone there who can catch you, someone who knows how to catch you and when.

For me, going vegan was an ethical and environmental decision. I'm doing the right thing by the animals.

The gain isn't counted to the recluse and inactive that, having nothing to measure themselves by and never being tested by failure, they simmer and soak perpetually in conscious complacency.

So go on and play, and if you make a mistake, make it loud so you won't make it next time.

I always wanted to get into politics, but I was never light enough to make the team.

These days people wallow in enormous masses of sound.

Over the years I've had more and more of an association with Nashville.

Science is an ocean. It is as open to the cockboat as the frigate. One man carries across it a freightage of ingots, another may fish there for herrings.

I just say whatever I want to whoever I want whenever I want wherever I want however I want.

The must have it now mentality, was man's first step into the gorging of his natural home.

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
